My name is Heber Nelski (née Nelson). I am from Vancouver, Washington. I lived in Croatia for two years as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I spent a year in Iraq teaching Iraqi soldiers basic computer skills and how to use various radio systems. I was an In School Suspension Instructor for a year at Jason Lee Middle School. I have taught math at Columbia River High School, Heritage High School and Milwaukie High School. I worked as a Test Engineer for Jeppesen. I have worked at Hockinson High School since 2014. I studied Chinese at DLI as a member of the Washington Army National Guard. My hobbies include anime, Dungeons & Dragons and playing go.

I have an AAS (2005) in Computer Programming from Clark College, Bachelor's Degree (2009) in Mathematics Education from BYU, and a Master's Degree (2016) in Mathematics from PSU.

I was born in Amarillo, Texas in 1979. I then moved to Berkely, California, then Quantico, Virginia, then Unsure, California, then Orem, Utah, then Elk Grove, California, then Fort Dix, New Jersey, then Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, then Fort Ord, California, then Vancouver, WA. I went to various schools, but the two longest were Holy Assumption School in Florence, NJ and Fort Vancouver High School in Vancouver, WA. I joined the National Guard in 1996. I graduated from Fort Vancouver in 1997.

While in Croatia, I lived in Zadar, Split, Varaždin, and of course Zagreb. I also visited many other places, including some of the islands off the coast. I taught English classes in every city I lived in. I also studied Croatian while there.

In Iraq, I mainly lived at LSA Anaconda. I also spent some time at a smaller base called Camp Vanguard. I was a meteorologist for the 81st Brigade. However, I spent my first 5 months on a QRF team, one month at Camp Vanguard doing odd jobs, and 6 months as the S-6 for Task Force Chinook.

I am married, and have four daughters, two cats, and an aquarium with fish and snails.
