Meet The Leadership Team

Hannah Bailey
Administrative Director

Ashley Robinson
Director of Operations

Ashley is from Mount Jackson, VA where she resides with her daughter and two dogs, Belle and Boone. In her free time, Ashley enjoys traveling and attending as many baseball games as she can. 

Ashley first began her work with Open Doors at the first Food Truck Fest as the event Photographer. She expanded her photography services to taking photos at the shelter. Ashley joined the Open Doors staff in August of 2019 as the Office Administrator, and in 2021 Ashley transitioned into the Director of Shelter Operations role where she was responsible for the direct operations of the shelter. This is where she really found her passion for working with individuals experiencing homelessness as well as advocating for policy change.  Ashley received her Associates in Applied Science in the Human Services program from BRCC in 2021 and is currently pursuing her Bachelors in Social Work at Mary Baldwin University. Ashley hopes to continue her work in advocating for the unhoused population in the future with Open Doors. 

Colt Duttweiler
Shelter Coordinator

Hannah is from Harrisonburg, VA where she currently resides with her two dogs and two cats. She enjoys traveling, attending concerts and festivals, spending time outdoors, being creative through painting and drawing, and spending time with her loved ones and pets. 

She began working at Open Doors in December 2018 as a Shelter Manager where she discovered her passion for serving the community, especially those facing homelessness. She worked as a Shelter Manager for three seasons. Hannah then gained more experience working with vulnerable populations and developed an administrative skillset through her positions at First Step as a Shelter Manager and at Strength In Peers as the Street Outreach Coordinator and Harm Reduction Services Specialist. Hannah is now back at Open Doors as our Administrative Director.

Colt grew up in Western New York, before moving down to attend Eastern Mennonite University. After graduating he travelled throughout the states and abroad, working as a camp counselor, an advocate for parolee youth, a sous chef, as well as program coordinator for a bicycle shop training youth.

Most recently Colt cycled across the US, from Delaware to Oregon, completing the trip with only three flat tires. He has since moved back to the Harrisonburg area, with a renewed interest in collaborating with the community. Using his experience at previous non-profits he is excited to apply that knowledge in his work with Open Doors.

In his free time Colt enjoys riding his bicycle, drawing and design, as well as hiking and camping in the Shenandoah Mountains.

Ted Rose was born in Roanoke, VA while his father was a student at Va. Tech on the G.I. bill. After school, he took a teaching position with Arlington County Schools. His father held several positions in the Metro area resulting in my first 20 years being spent in the Annandale Falls Church area.

Following in his fathers foot steps, Ted also attended Virginia Tech from 1972 to 76. As is the case with many kids today, he had no idea what he wanted to do. Fortunately, his father had a friend that was part owner of a Kenworth dealership in Springfield. For those of you who are unfamiliar, Kenworth is the premier semi truck on the road today. He took an entry level job there from 1977 to 1979. In 1979, Ted was offered a similar job with Truck Enterprises Richmond. He worked there for 7.5 years holding several positions. In 1986, he was recruited by Kenworth Truck Co. to open a new dealership in Lexington Kentucky for the Worldwide Group. After getting the dealership up and running, Ted was approached by Whiteford Kenworth in South Bend, Indiana to head up their 5 stores. He moved there in 1988 and stayed for 13 years.

In 2000, his father developed Parkinson’s disease. Since he was an only child, he felt it was best to be closer than 13 hours away to help his parents. Ted had kept up with the dealer principal of Truck Enterprises, Jim Hartman, over his time in Indiana.  Both served on dealer councils for Kenworth allowing them to get to know each other better. In 2000, his operations were stale. Jim offered Ted a position to oversee his parts operations for his 8 locations. He started with TEI in August of 2000 and remained there until retirement in December 2018. During his tenure there, he was promoted to Vice President in 2006, took over all fixed operations in 2012, and served on the Board of Directors until the end of 2020. 

Dale Dobroth

Dale Dobroth was born into and raised in a military family until he left home to attend college at Murray State University in Kentucky.  He and his wife moved to Richmond Virginia after college where he worked for an Environmental Consulting Firm and she completed her Dietetic Internship at MCV.  They moved to the Shenandoah Valley in 1980 to start his career at Merck. He retired from Merck in 2011 after 31 years of service and then returned as a contract engineer for another 10 years. While at Merck he worked in Quality, Manufacturing, Technical Operations and Validation.

Dale has always been involved with both his family and the community. He has been both a Cub Master and Scoutmaster in the BSA and a Youth Leader at his church. As a Youth Leader he led a number of Youth Mission Trips both regionally and internationally.  He is involved in the Food Pantry at his church as well. He is a volunteer with the Virginia Medical Reserve Corps (VaMRC) and has worked numerous COVID Vaccination Clinics and is currently coordinating Volunteers to help with the Afghan resettlement effort that is being undertaken by Church World Service (CWS) and Massanetta Springs. Dale became involved with Open Doors as a volunteer serving meals and spending the night at several different Host Churches as well as helping out with the Food Truck Fest.  He wanted to become more involved and joined the Board in 2022. He is very excited about the future of the organization and the impact their new direction can have on these clients in need.

Brook Johnson

Brook Johnson lives in Elkton and has been married to his High School sweetheart Angie for 20 years. Brook and his wife do not have any children, but have helped raise their niece that is like a daughter to them. Also like their kids are their 5 cats and 1 dog. Brook is a full time Firefighter and is a 22 year vet of fire and rescue with Rockingham County. He and his wife helped to plant ImpACT Ministries in 2012 in Elkton. It started with lots of prayer and taking a step of faith along with others. They spent the first two Sundays in their garage, 4 years in Elkton Middle School before moving into Shen Elk Plaza where it is today. As a founding member, Brook is one of the original board members still serving today. ImpACT has been assisting Open Doors with meals and donating items. He has served with Christian Skaters and Christian Surfers. While serving in Action Sports Ministries, he traveled to India where he served and rebuilt a skate park with a mission to educate about human trafficking. Next he found himself in El Salvador, serving on the coast where he worked with surfers, kids at an orphanage, and feeding communities. A year after the first trip to El Salvador, Brook lead a team back to El Salvador where he worked with communities, kids projects and much more. COVID has kept him from planting feet on the ground of El Salvador, but it hasn’t kept ImpACT from continuing to serve there by still being able to help fund the work which helps with employees and clean drinking water. Brook believes his greatest asset is having compassion for people; he does it every shift on the job at Fire/Rescue and at ImpACT Ministries. One of the main things he heads up at ImpACT Ministries is pouring into those that are incarcerated. The other involvement he does is Motorcycle Ministry. The King’s Highway Ride is the main event that Brook has helped host for several years now and the past 3 of them raised funds for Our Community Place.
