Nelson enjoys watching movies since childhood. Due to the immense growth of Hong Kong movie industry during the 70, 80's era, he was influenced by rising directors such as Tsui Hark, Ann Hui etc to join the filming and production profession. He joined Rediffusion Television (RTV) in 1979 as PA and was promoted as director after two years. In 1985, he joined TVB and was promoted as producer in 1989.

Nelson likes to take risk therefore he is daring and creative in his casting. Back in 1991, he picked Dicky Cheung and Deric Wan to collaborate in [One Step Beyond] and their comedic portrayal is still as memorable today. In his recent production [You're Hired], he picked the new pairing of Charmaine and Dayo. The audiences love them and even Nelson himself was surprised by this pairing.

"I really admire Dayo. He is a genius actor and works hard to improve himself. He made a lot of preparations before filming series. He excels in many areas; from TV series to stage theater and stand-up comedy. He is a generous person and is willing to share new ideas. When filming series, he also takes care of other cast and led them into character. Though Charmaine is already a n established actress, she still pours a lot of effort in acting. Not only does she meet the requirements of producer; she often brought wonderful surprises as well. The pairing created a lot of sparks and discovered Charmaine's potential in comedy."
