Meet Our team
Danny & ALLESHA Childress
FOUNDERS OF ROCK BOTTOM HOPE
I (Danny) was raised well in a Christian home, but I lost my way completely around the age of 14. I began a downward spiral and got my life pretty meth'd up at an early age. Sexual depravity, jail time, and on my way to prison... God found me at ROCK BOTTOM!
Since finding Jesus and sobriety in 2008, I have worked as the Intake Coordinator for Central Oregon Adult & Teen Challenge, helped cultivate a Children’s & Family non-profit, opened a Community Pay It Forward program; and served as a Campus Pastor for Mission Church; a multi-site church community. Now God has given me the amazing blessing of being able to serve people through Rock Bottom Hope full time!
I serve as the CEO & Founder of Rock Bottom Hope and coach people at all stages in their recovery and I love to encourage them to the HOPE that is available to them. I also work with family members who are struggling with loved ones lost in addiction or hopelessness. I inspire to freedom, breakthrough, and wellness.
I work with a team of Hope Coaches certified through our own RBH training program to help others find eternal hope. Through strategic conversations and planning we help others with the tools they need to walk in breakthrough and freedom. We know that HOPE can find you anywhere, and we help you on your journey.

Josie Aguirre
OPERATIONS & MARKETING MANAGER
Josie is the glue that helps hold all the behind-the-scenes pieces together here at Rock Bottom Hope (RBH). As our Operations & Marketing Manager, she brings structure, clarity, and a whole lot of heart to the mission. From organizing our systems to helping us tell our story through marketing, she keeps things running smoothly, something our team is endlessly grateful for.
She first connected with RBH after hearing our founder share his story at another ministry where she was mentoring. It hit home in a big way. “This is what I’ve been looking for,” she said. “A place to serve people who feel hopeless and remind them that even at rock bottom, they’re not alone. God did it for me, and I know He can do it for them.”
Josie’s passionate about walking with people in their hardest seasons, especially youth in the foster care community. When she’s not serving with RBH or mentoring, she’s probably belting out a karaoke song, playing league volleyball, or co-leading a community group with her ministry partner.
She lives by the words:
“Have faith in your journey. Everything had to happen exactly as it did to get you where you are going next.”

The Lord is his inspiration, and he does his best to follow wherever He leads. After God brought him out of his own rock bottom, it only made sense that He’d call him to help others through theirs. It’s an honor to bring hope where it may feel like there’s none left.
He loves that God uses him as a microphone to point people to Jesus and that it all started with one of the boldest prayers he’s ever prayed. God keeps answering in ways he never expected.
To him, purpose is the ever-changing journey of life, moving with intention, guided by Jesus, and learning the why behind every step.
He’s got a gift for making up silly songs (especially about food), and when he’s not recording, you’ll find him volunteering, playing “funcle” with his nieces and nephews, hanging with close friends, or hiking with his dog.
