Josh Cohen

Josh Cohen resides in Southern Oregon’s Applegate Valley with his seventeen-year-old son Everett and thirteen-year-old daughter Ava, where he has owned and operated a certified organic vegetable farm for the past eighteen years. He was first introduced to the world of motorcycles at age eight by his father, and over the following eleven years, they spent more weekends than not exploring the deserts of California on dirt bikes. After taking a break for more than 25 years from riding, Josh obtained his motorcycle endorsement, and purchased a small dual sport motorcycle with which to camp off of and explore the more remote regions of Oregon and California with. Before becoming a farmer, Josh worked as a restoration ecologist for ten years in Santa Cruz and Monterey counties in California, with a focus on preserving rare and endemic plant and insect species. The opportunity to combine his passion for deserts, motorcycle travel, and conservation has him very excited to visit Mongolia’s Gobi Desert with Rally for Rangers in 2025!
