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.
