Toshi Nelson

What topic could you spend hours talking about? My children. My bonus son, daughter, and son are my world and consume my life, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

If you could choose a superpower, what would it be? The ability to time travel to the past, not to change it, but to relive joyous moments.

What is your favorite trip and why? My family’s two-week trip to Japan in 2007. It was a fantastic experience. I had the opportunity to meet family, experience the culture, and see my grandmother in her home country.

Tell us about one of your favorite traditions. Deer hunting. I began hunting when I was 12 years old, and since then, my family and I have spent the first few days of deer rifle season together, enjoying the sport and, most of all, time with each other. It is a family affair, including my father, mother, and now husband and children.
