Nelson Tresslers early life was filled with trauma, struggle, and court trials. But although his childhood was something that many of us couldn’t fathom going through, he was able to turn his life around in a positive way.

Through his journey he was able to get married and raise 3 children. He runs over 10 businesses, many of them helping children and pets. Additionally, he has written a book and helped develop an app for goal fulfillment.

Today, Nelson is awaiting the release of his new book on November 12th, 2020. His new app “I Got Smarter” just got a new update finalized.
