Episode 3-Part 1: Dr. Craig Nazor
On Episode 3 (Part 1) of the Lone Star Deep Dive Podcast, host Tonya Kleuskens and co-host Mark Nair speak with Dr. Craig Nazor.
Dr. Craig Nazor is originally from Ashtabula, Ohio, but has been a resident of Austin, Texas for 36 years. He has a Doctorate of Musical Arts from the University of Texas at Austin, and he has composed, performed, and taught music for most of his life. However, he is also a dedicated environmentalist; that work began when he was in high school, living on the shores of Lake Erie. His past positions include President of a Louisiana Audubon Chapter, Education Director on the board of the Alexandria Zoo, and Horticulture Consultant for the Hartman Prehistoric Garden at Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin, Texas. More recently, he has been very active on conservation issues with the Sierra Club, Austin Regional Group, and most recently, the Lone Star Chapter of the Sierra Club. He is the current Conservation Chair of the Lone Star Chapter. In the spring of 2023, he assisted the State Sierra Club Conservation Director, Dr. Cyrus Reed, in lobbying at the Texas State Legislature for improvements to the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality, advocating for more state parks, speaking out against rapid Space X expansion in the Rio Grande Valley, defending the Sea Turtle Science and Recovery Program at Padre Island National Seashore, advocating for fixing the Texas electrical grid, supporting renewable fuels, defending Texas wildlife, protecting Texas water, and fighting Climate Change.
