Nicholas Beau Nelson, most known as Beau Nelson was born on a Marine Base in Cherry Point, NC and soon relocated with his parents to Tampa, FL. While spending most of grade school in Tampa, his parent's divorce led to his relocation to Wisconsin with his mother. Growing up as a shy child, Beau had little intention or desire for the entertainment industry. Focusing on education, Beau studied honors classes in Law, Physics and Spanish, and ultimately led to his High Honors college degree in Computer Science.

During his early adult years, Beau searched for a more creative way to express himself. With nearly no experience in the entertainment industry, Beau started traveling hundreds of miles to Chicago for short 5-minute auditions and landed his first lead role in a feature film 2 states away in Indiana. It was at that moment, Beau knew he was Los Angeles bound.
