Don & Millie Nelms, originally from Paris, Texas, have called Fayetteville,
Arkansas home for over 50 years. Don started his first business selling Honda
motorcycles in 1971 and a year later added Honda cars. Eventually Don owned
and operated many automobile dealerships throughout Northwest Arkansas
with Adventure Subaru being the most recent. The original location on College
Ave is now home to the Nelms Foundation offices and the Nelms Dyslexia
Center. Don & Millie enjoy their home in Fayetteville and their family’s nature
preserve in Jasper, Arkansas. Don’s nature photography can be found in the
Nelms Gallery in downtown Jasper and at www.nelmsgallery.com.

As a child, Don struggled with reading and spelling. At that time, little was
known about dyslexia in the education community. He was able to find a safe
place in his dad’s automobile repair shop where he could use his strengths
working on cars. While more research and resources are available today,
dyslexic children still struggle with school. The Don & Millie Nelms Foundation
will focus on providing ways to improve the dyslexic experience for children
and adults and advance conservation.
