Aside from his degree from Ateneo Law School, Nelson holds a Master's Degree in National Security Administration from the National Defense College of the Philippines. He is actually a Lieutenant Colonel in the Philippine Army, which could explain why his photo in his business cards has him garbed in a military attire.
His switch to real estate was not only motivated by monetary rewards but by a nationalistic purpose. Not surprising for someone who devoted the first years of his career in government service. Under the terms of three Philippine Presidents, Nelson was a Career Director at the Malacanang where he served in different capacities-- as Chief of Staff of the Executive Secretary, Head of Special Concerns Group and as Head Of Legal Team.
After his stint at the palace, he was tapped to champion the corporate re-engineering of Maybank Philippines resulting in the turnaround of its operations in less than 2 years.
