Meet our Team
Our Owners
Bill and Erin Dotson have been happily married and business partners since 2004. Previous owners of Gaymont Nursing Center created Be Strong as their latest endeavor. They have a strong dedication to the healthcare community and continuing to grow good people.
Bill Dotson = Courier Extraordinaire, Maintenance & IT
Bill is out on the road daily spreading cheer and delivering uniforms. He is also our go to guy for solving our maintenance and IT problems. Otherwise he is enjoying his retirement.
Erin Dotson = President & CEO
Be Strong is really Erin's baby! The vision of these 2 entities working together began in 2017 with pop up shops for uniforms and classroom space that had to double as a skills area. As we look at the current space its easy to see how far Be Strong has come. Always processing through ideas - who knows what else might come to fruition.
Calie Martin = VP of Operations
Calie has been involved with Be Strong since the very beginning. She is the brains behind the curtain and makes sure the processes and systems are not only in place but actually working. She coordinates all schedules and replenishment's for our business contracts. She also manages the business office affairs.

She exhibits an extensive knowledge of the healthcare community and is a student of human nature. She truly loves to serve others and uses this love to find the best way to assist organizations in taking care of their employees - whether it be with uniforms or education. She has a laugh that is contagious and sees the absolute best in every single day.
Elisha Roswell = Director of Thursday
Elisha has been our Thursday girl since 2019. Thursday is more than 1/2 way through the week and Elisha gets us moving on the down hill slide to the weekend. She loves to clean and keeps our place neat and tidy. She is the always eager to assist customers with a bright smile and a kind word.
Julia Jones = Director of Customer Sales
Julia has been with Be Strong since it opened and she was 15 years old. She went from being afraid to talk to customers to being the best shopping assistant we have. She knows our inventory inside and out and can guide customers in what to wear like a pro. She is a Sr in high school and we are looking forward to what her future has to bring.
