Mr. Nelson produced reports for correspondent Steve Kroft over the last three years, including segments on security issues after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. He also produced the first interview with teenage stock manipulator Jonathan Lebed. Many of the segments he produced led the program.

He was born in New York and in 1991 received a bachelor ' s degree in political science from the University of California Berkeley. He joined CBS News in the Washington office of " 60 Minutes " as an associate producer in 1996 and moved to New York in 1998. Before that he worked for Monitor Radio in Boston.

He is survived by his wife, Maggie; sons, George and Conrad; sisters, Angela Colt of San Francisco and Andrea Abbott of Bronxville, N.Y.; and his mother, Suzanne K. Colt, and stepfather, Edward Colt, of New York City.
