He also continued to pursue his growing interest in politics. Becoming involved through the caucus process, Nels was elected to central committee of the local party and in 2001 was elected as chair of the Olmsted County Republican party. In 2002, he was the campaign manager that helped get Carla Nelson first elected to the Minnesota State House of Representatives. Building on that experience, Nels was honored to serve as U.S. Congressman Gil Gutknecht's campaign manager for two election cycles. Nels stayed involved in politics because he knows that with more informed and active citizens the probability increases for our state and nation to be left in much better shape for future generations. Quoting one of Dr. Ben Carson's favorite sayings, "If two people think and say the same thing about everything, then one of them is not necessary." Nels believes that every citizen serves a purpose in our republic and that is why he is involved and why he encourages others to participate also.

In 2009, Nels made his love of property development his profession, becoming a realtor for Edina Realty and continued acquiring and restoring properties. He believed further education in real estate law would benefit his clients, so began his education at Hamline. In addition to attending law school and selling real estate, Nels was asked to serve as political consultant for several federal and state issues. Nels consulted for clients, including the City of Rochester, Olmsted County, Mayo Clinic and the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce.
