Born to a fisherman in Manila, Philippines, Nilo attended the University of the East, Manila, Philippines graduating with an Electrical Engineering degree.

As a U.S. Department of Defense civilian employee, he played a vital role in maintaining the integrity of the various facilities. Nilo enjoyed his job ~ going way beyond the call of duty to help his colleagues both at work and afterwards. As a people-person, Nilo never met a stranger. He loved helping others and freely giving his time and resources. He enjoyed singing in the church choir, playing basketball with the young pups, fishing with his family and friends, and skiing downhill with wild abandon! He also enjoyed adventure holding up a live electrical wire during a typhoon for a van to drive under and taking a ferry across the Bohol Sea, Philippines in the midst of the storm.
