Mr. Nelson

 I am from San Antonio, TX and I have lived in Cave Creek, AZ since February 3, 2011. I got married on June 25, 2011 to my beautiful wife Jessie. We have a gorgeous home in Cave Creek that our 2 dogs, 4 barn cats, 1 miniature horse, 2 ponies, 20 something chickens, and 2 tortoises are nice enough to share with us. On February 3rd of 2013 (Super Bowl Sunday) my wife and I welcomed our first child, Avery. May 14, 2016 we added a baby boy, Colby, to our family, and on January 12, 2019 we completed our family with the birth of our daughter Natalie. They are the light of my life!

I love living in AZ, but I am still a proud Texan at heart. I absolutely love the Dallas Cowboys, San Antonio Spurs, and Texas Rangers. My Bachelor's degree is in Exercise Sport Science with a minor in Math from Texas State University, home of the Bobcats! My passions in life are sports (everything from NASCAR to snowboarding) and working with young people. I am ecstatic to be your child's PE teacher this year!!!
