Nelson attended Lynn University, playing on the men's soccer team from 1996 to 1999. He compiled thirty-one shutouts and forty-nine wins in fifty-nine games. He was a 1999 NSCAA Division II Scholar All American. Nelson graduated with a bachelor's degree in international business.
In 2000, Nelson began his post-collegiate career with the Cape Cod Crusaders of the USISL D3-Pro League. That season, he earned D2-Pro League Goalkeeper of the Year honors after posting a 0.73 goals against average.〔(The Year in American Soccer - 2000 )〕 After the Crusaders were eliminated from the playoffs, Nelson joined the Boston Bulldogs of the USL A-League for three games, allowing only one goal. The Columbus Crew then called him up for the last two games of the Major League Soccer season.〔(Crusaders goalie may be moving )〕 Nelson then moved to Ireland and joined Kilkenny City A.F.C. He played sixteen league games before gaining his release outside of the transfer window in April 2001. With that in hand, Nelson returned to the United States and joined the Portland Timbers but was released a month later.〔(Timbers sign Yale goalkeeper Dan Moss: Baarts, Gantz and Nelson released )〕 In 2002, he signed with the South Jersey Barons of the USL D3-Pro League. When the D3-Pro League season ended the last week of July 2002, the Hampton Roads Mariners quickly signed Nelson for the rest of the A-League season.〔(Mariners Weekly Report )〕 In 2003, the Mariners became known as the Virginia Beach Mariners. Nelson stayed with the team through the 2006 season. The Mariners folded at the end of the 2006 season and Nelson signed with the Harrisburg City Islanders of the USL Second Division in 2007. That season, he recorded a league-leading ten shutouts and a 10-4-4 record. He also had the league’s second best goals-against-average at 0.611 and was selected to the USL-2 All-League Second Team while backstopping the Islanders to the USL Second Division championship. On July 27, 2007 the Vancouver Whitecaps acquired Nelson on loan for the last three games of the USL First Division season. The Whitecaps wanted Nelson to play for them in 2008, but he declined.〔("New 'Caps goalie" ), ''24 Hours Vancouver'', January 24, 2008; retrieved January 24, 2008.〕 Nelson signed with Crystal Palace Baltimore in the USL Second Division on April 7, 2008. In the second round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Nelson saved three penalties in a penalty shoot out against his former team, the Islanders, to send Palace through to the next round against MLS side New York Red Bulls. Against the Red Bulls Nelson kept a clean sheet and made seven saves which helped send Palace through to the quarter finals of the competition against the New England Revolution. Palace released Nelson from his contract on July 18, 2008 and he was reacquired by the Harrisburg City Islanders for the remainder of the 2008 season.
