Nelson announces county court clerk bid
|
Nelson was born and raised in Warren County in the Rockcliff community where he still resides today. He is the son of Donna Gail Fann Nelson and the late Bob Nelson, grandson of Scott and Elizabeth Nelson, and from the Campaign community, grandson of Ruby Fann and great-grandson of Novie Jaco.
Nelson has two children, daughter Sara Nelson, and son Matthew Harris, and one brother Chris Nelson who also resides in the Rockcliff Community of Warren County.
Nelson is a 1979 graduate of Warren County Senior High, from which he received the Excellence in Electronics Award in his class. Nelson was also recognized for his perfect attendance record three out of four years of high school.
Nelson began his work experience while still attending high school by taking on a 35-hour-a-week position with ARA Vending (which lasted five years), where he gained the trust and respect from his employer as a dependable and hard-working employee.
In 1984, Nelson took a position with Dunn Steel as a temporary laborer, and within six months time, was offered a full-time position as a machine operator. That position lasted 17 years until the company down-sized due to departmental relocation out of state.
In the spring of 2003, Nelson started Scott?s Lawncare with less than 30 customers and rapidly increased to over 70 within a year?s time. Owning his own business, Nelson quickly learned the importance of excellent record keeping, scheduling, and having the ability to handle various situations at the same time. Customer service is his No. 1 priority.
Nelson is also recognized as the club founder and overseer of the Visual Impact Car and Truck Club, which was established in 1990. The success of his club is credited with the numerous donations it has made to organizations such as the Humane Society, the Senior Center, Kids of the Community, and the Ronald McDonald House, along with various others within the community.
Nelson has also been a member of the Viola Volunteer Fire Department for the past 10 years.
?I am seeking the office of County Court Clerk because I am confident I can do the job and do it well,? Nelson said. ?I am a people person and I like to be involved with the community on a daily basis. I would like to serve the community where I was born and raised in a capacity for which I know I am qualified.
?If elected, I will strive to do the best job for my community and will always treat each of you the way I would want to be treated myself. I am a hard worker and it will be my goal to make the county clerk?s office a friendly, efficient, and informative office for the community.?
