 * About Me**



Welcome! My name is Brent Nelson and I'm a grad student at Iowa State. I am pursuing a Masters degree of Education with a focus in Curriculum and Instructional Technology. I am also currently employed by IBM as a staff software engineer with experience on projects involving database access/management and power/energy management.

My interest in education developed a few years ago and my family has had a big influence on it. My wife, Heather, is an English Teacher at Oskaloosa Community Schools and William Penn University. My children, Spencer, Kirby, and Elliot, are students in the Oskaloosa school district. Personally, I have been involved with the Oskaloosa school district in several capacities Oskaloosa Elementary PTO secretary/webmaster, District Advisory Committee member, Technology Advisory Committee member, high school computer programming class tutor, and classroom volunteer.
