Kevin Albin served 25 years with the police in the UK, eight years of which were with a tactical firearms unit and as a hostage negotiator. He then took a career change, and retrained as an International Mountain Leader working across the globe guiding on mountaineering trips and expeditions for conservation. He has led many trips to the jungles of Borneo, his favourite destination.
