According to the New York Real Estate Journal, the real estate company started with ″absolutely no money and organically grew without the help of investors or partners. ″Matrix has grown due to the sincere and genuine way of doing business the old school way – with a handshake.″ [6] (New York Real Estate Journal October 27, 2015 "Executive of The Month")
One of Matrix's most recent projects includes a $40M housing, office project planned for Grant Deneau Tower in downtown Dayton.[7]
On December 20, 2015, two days before his 49th birthday, Nelson died when he lost control of his car while driving along East Broadway in Port Jefferson, New York.[4] He was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.[4]
