Steve started with ALE as a field guide and then served as Field Operations Manager for 6 years. Working from the UK as the Expeditions Manager, he is the main point of contact for all independent expeditions and also contributes to the operations planning for each Antarctic season.

Rachel has been with ALE for nearly 30 years! She has worked for ALE in both Antarctica and Punta Arenas, Chile and now provides support for a variety of projects from her home in Squamish, Canada. In her spare time she enjoys hiking, mountain biking, and birding and – according to her friends – spends way too much time doing yard projects and cruising dog adoption websites.
