Hey there, Leander ISD neighbors! I'm Nekosi Nelson– a family man with my awesome wife, Helynn, and our two amazing daughters, Sydney and Sloan. We're all about exploring new places and bonding over board games.

When I'm not on the move with my family, you'll find me indulging in yoga, weight lifting, grilling, or anything that involves water. I'm not just about having a good time; I'm also a local business owner and community servant.

Servant leadership has always been a cornerstone of my adult life, both professionally and personally. After graduating from undergraduate studies, I decided to work as an investment banker. I was proud to help medium companies grow and achieve their visions, but I was unfulfilled. I wanted to have more impact on solving social challenges and uplifting communities. I completed an MBA program and set out on a personal mission of making the world a better place. Over the next twelve years, I committed my professional life to K-16 education and youth development before my third career in the tech sector.

I've worked in education at various levels, from local schools to the Department of Education and community-based nonprofits. I'm all about data-driven decision-making, cross-functional leadership, testing creative solutions, building strong relationships with diverse stakeholders, and delivering value to users and organizations.

Fun is also key for me, and if I can make a difference along the way, it's a win-win! My passion lies in making a positive impact on organizations and communities. I thrive on inspiring big ideas and helping everyone maximize their opportunities.

Let's help LISD achieve its vision of individualized, whole child education!
