Nelson has served in his current position as the Director of Technical Career Services at Southern Union Community College since 2020.  Prior to his promotion to Director of Career Services, Nelson served as Southern Union’s Career Coach for the Opelika campus from 2019 to 2020.  He will officially transition into his new role at Inspire Academy on Monday, June 1.  During his work at Southern Union State Community College, Nelson has diligently worked to advance the career technical education programs as well as to develop work-based learning partnerships with area businesses.
