Todd N Nelson

Todd Norlin Nelson was born November 6, 1964, in Springfield, Oregon. He earned a bachelor's degree from Pacific Lutheran University in 1988, an education that included a two-year fellowship at the University of London. He went on to earn his law degree from the University of Arizona in 1991 and passed the bar examinations in both Nevada and Oregon.

Mr. Nelson built his career as a corporate attorney in the Las Vegas area, where he practiced for roughly eleven years. He founded his own firm, Parker, Nelson and Arin, where colleagues fondly referred to him as "the brains of the operation." He was a member of both the Nevada Bar Association and the Oregon Bar Association.

Beyond his legal practice, Mr. Nelson had also begun promoting and representing up-and-coming professional boxers. Described as a quiet man who earned the respect and admiration of many, he died June 6, 2002, in Las Vegas after an eleven-month battle with leukemia.
