Tom Nixon

Board of Directors

Picture
Tom was born in Jacksonville, Fla. and graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in history. He later worked with the states of Connecticut (Wilderness School) Florida (Project STEP) involving alternative outdoor experiential education courses modeled on Outward Bound programs. He taught winter mountaineering courses in Maine with Hurricane Island Outward Bound and backpacking, climbing and whitewater courses in North Carolina with NC Outward Bound.

Surfing brought him to California where he spent several years in the Santa Barbara area working for the Deveureux Foundation as a recreation counselor at their campus in Isla Vista. In 1981 he became a California State Park Ranger in Huntington Beach, Ca. later transferring back to the Ventura/ Santa Barbara area and eventually to Lake County at Clear Lake and Anderson Marsh State Parks where he retired in 2007.

​He began volunteering for Lake County Public Services and Konocti Regional Trails as a project coordinator for Mt. Konocti County Park after retirement. He served as Secretary and President of the Clear Lake Riviera Community Association HOA for several years. He has 20 years experience working with California non-profits and looks forward to helping CLERC grow and prosper. Tom and his Wife, Val, live in Kelseyville Riviera with their Golden Retriever, Buddy. He enjoys bass fishing from his kayak and playing in a local ‘geezer band,’ Indie Groove.​
