MEET OUR TEAM

Buster Nicholson

Executive Director

My name is Buster Nicholson. I currently reside in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. I have worked in the public school system as a teacher and administrator. During my tenure in the classroom, I saw many opportunities to improve on the methodologies of instructional delivery. This led me to opening and operating a tutoring center which focused on individualized plans and assessment techniques that utilize multi-modal remediation and enrichment. Using my experience, I authored and published SchoolMedic’s Field Guide to Elementary Classroom Management

I have an M.S. in Supervision and Administration in Education, and a B.A. in Elementary Education. My career path has included executive level positions in government, as an analyst for the U.S. Secret Service, and in senior management at American Military University. My wife and I enjoyed homeschooling out four children beginning in 1998 and finishing in 2021.

Kim Dully

Grassroots Coordinator

My name is Kim Dully and I am a mom of three school aged kids. My husband and I both have a master’s degree in education and we want to instill a love of learning in our children. One of the ways we love to learn as a family is by reading together. We try to do everything with intention and that includes education. My husband and I helped to launch a private school in our county and our children currently attend there. I believe that education is the gateway to real change in a person’s life. I want every parent to feel confident about the way their child is educated, whether that is homeschool, hopeschooled, private school, public school, or anything else. The beautiful thing is that as a parent I get to choose the right option for each one of my children each year. There is no one size fits all!

Leah Peck

Grassroots Coordinator

My name is Leah Peck. I have more than fifteen years of professional experience in the legal, marketing, and social service industries. My most important title, however, is ‘mom!’ I am a mother of four in a blended family. I gained my three oldest children through marriage, and adopted her youngest from foster care. My family also cared for a fifth child in foster care that was reunified with their family. One constant in my family is unchanging – the kids come first! Every child is involved in extracurriculars – football, choir, lacrosse, karate, softball, T-ball – and every child is encouraged daily to pursue their individual passions and talents. 
 
I love to cook and spend time with my family. I am an animal lover, and have a pitbull, a boxer, a German Shepherd, two cats, and four ducks. Her main focus in life remains engaging with and fostering growth in my children. In sharing the HOPE Scholarship, I ‘hope’ that more school choices for my children will come available in West Virginia, allowing not only my children, but all West Virginia children, a real chance at thriving and developing their natural-born talents.
