Nelson established one of the largest&nbsp;skydiving centers in the US (<a href=\"https:\/\/skydivechicago.com\/\">Skydive Chicago<\/a>) and had two kids (Rook and Melissa) who routinely break world skydiving records today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Roger Nelson was a legendary skydiver, he was well known by the DEA for how he used his skydiving airplanes&#8230; moving marijuana in the early 80s from Central America to US shores. Later imprisoned for these indiscretions, Nelson wrote a memoir from prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nelson was killed in a skydiving accident in 2003 and his memoir sat in a box for more than ten years &#8211; until his daughter Melissa gathered all of his writings to produce the book, Sugar Alpha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Sugar-Alpha-Times-Huevos-Grandes\/dp\/1475989393\/\">Buy the book here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Charlie Bravo&nbsp;<em>by Roger Nelson and Melissa Nelson<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you read&nbsp;<em>Sugar Alpha,&nbsp;<\/em>you&#8217;ll have to pick up&nbsp;<em>Charlie Bravo&nbsp;<\/em>&#8211; an incredible page turner that takes the reader deeper below the surface with Roger and his nefarious activities.
