Since the age of 7, Nelson and his family have been traveling and living in all of the flung corners of the globe. He has managed to visit over 40 countries and lived in seven of them. After living in such diverse countries as Tanzania, Kenya, Hong Kong, Canada as well as his native Australia, Nelson found his true calling in the Philippines.

Nelson started modelling in the late 90's. He took on the ramp, graced billboards and print ads, and appeared on TV commercials. He eventually made a name for himself as a TV host, taking on shows such as the then-ABC5 (now TV5) dance program Eezy Dancing and ABS-CBN's Sports Unlimited. Due to his recognition and skill as a host he is much in demand when it comes to hosting events and pageants. He has hosted the Elite Model Search, Manhunt International, Miss Teen Philippines, Mutya ng Pilipinas as well as the Miss Earth beauty pageant on more than one occasion. Other pageants, awards nights and events are constantly being added to his roster.
