Early Life
Tony James Nelson II [7]was born in East Meadow, New York, to Tony Nelson and Sherrianne Nelson. While East Meadow marks his birthplace, Amityville, New York holds a special place as his hometown, where he spent much of his formative years. Nelson's upbringing was a testament to resilience and adaptability, as he experienced life across various towns in Suffolk County on Long Island. His early years were characterized by financial struggles, leading to periods where he and his mother resided in shelters such as Help Suffolk in Bellport and New Life in Amityville.
Growing up in a tight-knit family environment, Nelson lived with his parents, his older sister, and two younger cousins. He navigated through multiple school districts, including Amityville, Bellport, and William Floyd in Mastic. At the age of 16, during his sophomore year, he was asked not to return to Amityville High School, prompting him to drop out.
The turbulence in his family life deepened when his parents separated at age 16. This upheaval resulted in him being expelled from his home by his mother and feeling abandoned by extended family members. At 17, Nelson's uncle Ivory extended an invitation for him to move to Baltimore, Maryland. There, his uncle, a general contractor, imparted valuable skills such as Sheetrocking and painting. He encouraged Nelson to find employment and complete his GED, leading to Nelson working at McCormick in Maryland. A disagreement with his uncle over job decisions led Nelson to return to New York.
At 18, Nelson enrolled at Farmingdale SUNY College, where he obtained his GED and briefly attended college. However, within a year, he chose to drop out. Later that year, while riding his bike in Amityville, Nelson was struck by a truck, resulting in a significant $45,000 lawsuit settlement from Allstate Insurance. After legal fees, he received $29,000, which was the most money he had ever possessed at one time. This financial windfall allowed him to purchase his first car, teach himself to drive, and obtain his New York driver's license.
Nelson's early life was marked by considerable adversity, yet these experiences forged a path of determination and self-reliance, laying the foundation for his future endeavors.

Roovet Origins
Roovet Corporation was conceived and brought to life by Tony James Nelson II on May 13, 2013, in the modest confines of his home office in Berlin, New York. With a keen understanding of the digital world and the power of a unique brand identity, Nelson coined the name "Roovet." Although he later discovered that Roovet was also a surname in France, this did not deter him. Instead, it added a layer of international intrigue to his budding enterprise.
Nelson's expertise in SEO was pivotal in the early days of Roovet. He meticulously worked on building the company's domain authority and page authority, understanding that a strong online presence was crucial for success. Inspired by the remarkable achievements of Google Inc., particularly their AdWords platform, Nelson envisioned creating a similar ecosystem within Roovet.
This vision led to the development of Roovet AdWords, an online advertising platform designed to empower businesses by connecting them with potential customers through targeted ads.

Roovet Expansion Into Retail
One of Roovet's pioneering projects was the creation of Savannah's 24 Hour Store, named in honor of Nelson's first daughter, Savannah. This store, located on Atlantic Blvd in Jacksonville, Florida, became a beacon of convenience and community service, offering round-the-clock access to essential goods and services. The store's success and Nelson's unwavering dedication to innovation laid the groundwork for Roovet's expansion within the local market. As Roovet continued to evolve, Savannah's 24 Hour Store was relocated to Powers Ave in Jacksonville. In a heartfelt tribute to his eldest daughter, Nelson rebranded the store as Bryana's Food Mart. This new location not only continued the legacy of providing 24-hour service but also strengthened Roovet's presence in the community. Under the new name, Bryana's Food Mart became a hub for local residents, known for its customer-centric approach and commitment to quality. Throughout this journey, Nelson's vision for Roovet remained steadfast. He sought to create a brand that resonated with people, offering reliable services and innovative solutions.

Children
In 2004, amidst challenging times while living with his mother in a shelter in Huntington, New York, Tony James Nelson II encountered a transformative relationship. During this period, he met Staci Snowden and her young daughter, Bryana Douglas. The friendship between their mothers led to frequent interactions, and Nelson soon formed a deep bond with the two-year-old Bryana. Their connection was unique and heartfelt, with Nelson growing increasingly attached to the young girl. Despite the absence of a biological connection, Nelson embraced Bryana as his own, referring to her as his first daughter. This bond was not merely symbolic; it was a testament to Nelson's capacity for love and commitment, transcending conventional familial ties. His relationship with Bryana highlighted his nurturing nature and ability to form profound connections with those around him.
This experience also provided Nelson with a sense of purpose and responsibility, shaping his approach to parenthood and relationships in the years that followed.

In 2010, a serendipitous meeting in a First Class Taxi in Copiague, New York, marked a significant turn in Tony James Nelson II's life when he met Johanna Taveras. Their connection blossomed and led to the birth of his first biological child, Savannah Taveras, on March 1, 2011. Their relationship, however, came to an end, leading to a series of challenging custody battles. In 2013, after numerous court hearings, Nelson was granted 80% custody of Savannah by Suffolk County Family Court.
Tragedy struck later that same year when Johanna Taveras died in a car accident on the Southern State Parkway. At the time, Savannah was just 2 years old, and the loss was profoundly felt by those close to her. During this period, Nelson found support and companionship in his relationship with Lori King, also a native of Amityville, New York. As Nelson began to build the Roovet Corporation, Lori King played a crucial role in raising Savannah. Her unwavering support and dedication provided a stable and nurturing environment for Savannah, allowing Nelson to focus on his burgeoning business ventures.

This chapter in Nelson's life was marked by both profound joy and deep sorrow, showcasing his resilience and commitment to his daughter amidst personal tribulations.

In June 2020, Tony James Nelson II encountered Destiny Harris in Jacksonville, Florida, through an introduction by her cousin Michelle Harris. This meeting occurred as Nelson's relationship with Lori King was drawing to a close. Despite the complexities of his personal life at the time, a new chapter began with Destiny. Their relationship quickly blossomed, and in 2021, they welcomed their first child, Da'Nylah Nelson, who was born on April 4. The joy of parenthood continued to grace their lives with the arrival of their second child, Da'Nauria Nelson, born on April 21, 2022. However, the romantic relationship between Nelson and Destiny Harris was fleeting, and they decided to part ways in 2021. Nelson's personal life saw further transitions, culminating in the official end of his relationship with Lori King in 2022. As of now, Tony James Nelson II is known to be single, channeling his energy and focus into his various business ventures and personal passions.
Despite the end of his relationships, Nelson remains a dedicated father to his children. He has continued to expand his professional horizons while ensuring that he maintains a strong presence in the lives of Bryana, Savannah, Da'Nylah and Da'Nauria. This balance between personal and professional responsibilities underscores Nelson's commitment to both his family and his ambitions. Nelson's journey through these years reflects a dynamic life marked by significant personal and professional growth. His ability to navigate the complexities of relationships while forging ahead with his entrepreneurial endeavors exemplifies his resilience and adaptability.
