Josh Norman, Co-Director
[email protected]
Josh has been with MoGro for six years. Much of his work is oriented around people: strengthening relationships with our site partners, training site volunteers, and helping to create a team culture that is supportive, fun, and dedicated to those we serve. When possible, he also directs his attention to program evaluation, systems and logistics.
Josh grew up in Albuquerque and has recently returned to New Mexico after being away for about ten years, serving in the Peace Corps in West Africa as an Environmental Education Volunteer and as an Outward Bound Instructor in New York City working with high school students in the Bronx, Queens, and Manhattan. Josh lives in Albuquerque with his partner and their dog. They spend their free time cooking, gardening, and exploring, usually following the lead of a nose with a wagging tail.

Shelby Danilowicz, Co-Director
[email protected]
In 2017 Shelby was hired as MoGro's Distribution Coordinator. Over the last five years, she has enjoyed getting to know the organization through the lens of the different positions she has held. Shelby helps to guide MoGro by fostering and developing relationships with partner organizations, farmers and communities, and supporting staff.
She loves to get her hands dirty and enjoys packing bags on Tuesdays, jumping in on deliveries and distributions, and spending time listening and learning from growers, producers and community members. Getting out of the office helps her to stay grounded in the work and see how MoGro can adapt to best support local farmers and communities that we work with. She moved to Albuquerque from the northeast in 2017. When Shelby isn't working she is usually cooking, sewing, or somewhere in the mountains.

Erik Rott, Distribution & Logistics Coordinator
[email protected]
Erik started working for MoGro during the summer of 2020 after spending the spring volunteering for MoGro as well as for other organizations, feeling a call to action to help people in the state that he calls home. A born generalist, he wears many hats at MoGro - making deliveries, planning routes, maintaining equipment, and in general helping MoGro grow!
With a background in everything from Film & Television to metalworking, Erik enjoys problem solving and working with his hands. Born and raised in Albuquerque, he enjoys exploring the the state that raised him on his bicycles, often feeling more at home on two wheels than on two legs.
