Wisconsin Dells — At 14, Todd Nelson was a Sauk County farm kid and an auctioneer with the family auction business — antiques, cattle, horses, stuff they scarfed up cruising garage sales in Madison.

At 18, he was trucking Christmas trees to Florida.

At 19, he bought into a popular Wisconsin Dells tavern. Then came a pizza place.

Now, at 53, Nelson, whose work history also includes stints as a beer truck driver and a laborer replacing ties on the old Milwaukee Road tracks across western Wisconsin, is among the most successful entrepreneurs in the Dells.
