About Mr. Nelson

Hello! Thank you for visiting my teacher webpage! I plan to use my teacher webpage to update classroom news, class pictures and Unity Eagles Football news. First, here is some background information about me.

I was born in Bloomer, WI and graduated from the Bloomer School District. While in school, I played football, basketball and baseball. After graduation, I took a year off of school and built houses. After deciding to go back to school, I was accepted into the University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse. While at UW-L, I majored in both Physical Education and Health Education. I graduated from UW-L in the winter of 2006. I began a long term sub position for the Chetek-Weyerhaeuser School District when a physical education/health education position opened in the Unity School District. I applied for the position (without knowing where Unity was...), interviewed a few days later and was hired in September 2007. Once I began teaching at Unity, my longtime girlfriend (Kari) and I bought a house in Turtle Lake in 2007. Kari and I got married in August 2008 at an outdoor wedding in Eau Claire. Throughout the years at Unity I have taught physical education and health education in the middle school and have coached both football and baseball. In 2013, our twin daughters (Kennedy and Kaia) were born. In 2015, I was hired as the head football coach at Unity and have held the position since then. In my spare time, I like to hunt, fish, remodel our homes, attend coaching clinics and most of all, hang out with my family and friends.
