Dana Vrechek - Executive Director

Dana Vrechek is the President and Executive Director of the World History Institute. She is a historian’s daughter who is passionate about sharing the power of the Bible to create and incubate true liberty inside nations and communities. She holds a Juris Doctorate from Pepperdine University, and previously worked in finance with UBS, and small business management. Her 17 years of trial and error homeschool experience is the driving force behind the education and curriculum development programs at WHI, and she owes much to Dorothy Sayers, Verna Hall, Rosalie Slater, and Charlotte Mason in this area. Dana is the daughter of the late evangelist Dr. Marshall Foster, and currently works in tandem with her mom, Patricia Foster, to curate and research the providential, and often miraculous, stories that paved the way for the liberties we experience now.

Alicia Alford - Director of Donor Relations and Logistics

Alicia is the Director of Donor Relations and Logistics for World History Institute. Prior to WHI, Alicia worked as a first responder, second in line to her favorite “job” as Mom to her four kids (21,19,17,14) with her husband of 23 years, Brad. She maintains her National EMT certification and currently holds licenses in CA & TN, still working an occasional shift on the ambulance. Alicia has a passion for helping people and connecting with them, whether it be an emergency, or simply showing love and care to someone in need of it. She’s never met a stranger and her family wouldn’t be surprised if she met her new best friend in line at the grocery store.

Aegis Stuart - Director of Media and Marketing

Aegis joined World History Institute in early ’23 as the Director of Media and Marketing. After moving to Nashville, Aegis worked in different aspects of the music industry. She spent time in recording studios, a record label and a management company. She left the workforce when she and her husband adopted two children from Haiti. She is now in her 11th year of homeschooling, with many of those years spent in an RV traveling the country and teaching on the go. She loves road trips, spending time in the mountains, any type of challenge, treasure hunting and talking conspiracy theories.
