Nelson's career in sheet metal began at Air Control on August 1976, when he was a first-step apprentice. (Air Control -- which was founded by Darrell and Anna Lai in 1975 -- eventually became Air Central Inc. in 2001.) Nelson worked his way up and became supervisor in 2001.
Nelson's strong work ethic and his no-nonsense approach to getting things done has earned him respect from fellow employees and customers.
