Following his playing career, Nelson worked in investment management and broadcasting in the Seattle area. He did local cable telecasts and was the color commentator on radio for Husky football games for 17 years, through the 2009 season.[1] Nelson was the director of the Boeing Classic golf tournament on the Champions Tour for its first five years,[2] and was named president and CEO of the Washington Athletic Club in January 2012.[3]
Born in Seattle, Washington, Nelson grew up in Everett and graduated from Everett High School in 1978. He then attended the University of Washington, where he played for the football team from 1979 to 1982. As a senior in 1982, he was recognized as a consensus first-team All-American.
