His professional journey spans the private sector with several global companies\, along with executive leadership at USRowing and service as a Vietnam-era U.S. Army officer. An honors graduate of Monmouth College (IL)\, Nelson holds a Master’s in Public Administration (MPA) from Harvard Kennedy School and is also an alumnus of Harvard Business School. He is a member of Florida’s Advisory Committee to the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC)\, where he advocates with the U.S. Congress to place global economic development and diplomacy—including art and cultural exchanges—on equal footing with national defense. \nSince moving to St. Petersburg\, Nelson has remained engaged with the local international community\, including participation in the St. Petersburg World Affairs Council and leadership at Eckerd College\, where he serves as Vice President of the Academy of Senior Professionals at Eckerd College (ASPEC). Nelson was immediately drawn to the MFA and its encyclopedic collection of art from around the globe and across the centuries. One of his greatest joys at the museum has been sharing how art can transcend language and cultural boundaries\, offering a universal form of communication. \n\n  \n\nEspañol: Nelson es un empresario internacional multilingüe que ha tenido la buena fortuna de vivir\, estudiar y trabajar por todo el mundo. Se ha desempeñado como ejecutivo en varias empresas globales y también sirvió como oficial en el ejército de los Estados Unidos.

Uno de sus mayores placeres en el MFA ha sido la oportunidad de compartir con los visitantes cómo el arte trasciende el lenguaje y las diferencias culturales.
