Steph Lee's technical title is Operations but she’s constantly changing her title depending on what project she’s working on, how much she feels like jazzing up her day. In fact, she finds changing her title randomly to be one of the small joys in life so we just let her do her thing. In 2008 she was awarded ASTA’s Young Professional of the Year for her work at Travel Quest. A dabbler in many things, Steph likes traveling off the beaten path, tennis, and being outside. Her biggest passion is her dog Rigel, who holds the title of 1st place for the 2009 Dog Costume Content in Minneapolis despite Steph forgetting his lion mane she’d made for him at home. Guess the lion fur bracelets on his legs were really striking!

Jordan Pattee is the holder of the Director of Agent support badge. She’s been in the travel industry since 1997. She’s worked in multitude of areas of the travel industry including leisure, corporate, and incentive. We like to call her the Worldspan Guru because she knows that exciting GDS system like no other! She’s extremely well-traveled and loves leading FAM trips for our agents to help add to her travel repertoire. She’s traveled all over the world including Mexico and the Caribbean, China, Europe, and, if you want her to get all starry-eyed, you can ask her about Fiji. And, if you want to get the office staff all starry-eyed, you can ask us about her homemade spinach dip…. Mmmmmm!

Colleen Grams came to Travel Quest with over 20 years experience in both corporate and leisure travel. She’s worked across multiple GDS systems and was a top corporate producer. Impressive indeed! However, the tricks her two dogs can do—play dead, sneeze, walk on two feet, high fives, shake—definitely steal the show. When push comes to shove, her all-time favorite destination is the Big Easy where she loves to get some great food and take in the melting pot of cultures. Other favorites? If you’re around her for more than a few minutes you’ll quickly realize some of her favorite things to do are laughing and smiling! |

Angie Chamberlin began working with Travel Quest in 1998 as a leisure agent where she was the agency’s highest-grossing agent. The loyal client base she had built up over the next 7 years were distraught (not to mention all of us at TravelQuest!) when she decided it was time to try out a new career. Lucky for us, Angie couldn’t nip the travel bug and decided to rejoin the travel industry after only a few years! Angie is recently engaged and her most recent trip included a cruise with her fiancé. Ever the hard worker, Angie does her best to ensure she’s up-to-date on all the vacation hot spots by doing personal inspections to ensure that it’s up to par for her clients. Now that’s dedication!

Jen Johnson Rohloff loves the sun, warm weather, and Minnesota winters so working in travel was an obvious fit for her. Wait... Minnesota winters? Yes, it's true. You found a lover of Minnesota winters. As an avid hockey player and snowboarder, winter is a must in her book. Come summer, she's out in-line skating and wake boarding. More leisurely activities include reading fiction and munching on any fruit-- particularly those of the melon variety. She's traveled to Greece, Italy, Jamaica, Hawaii, and has thoroughly explored Mexico's vacation hot spots. Dream travels include Tahiti and checking out Germany during Oktoberfest. Jen worked at a tour operator in St. Paul before TravelQuest was lucky enough to have her join our team.

Chief is the official Office Greeter. His interests include sleeping, sleeping, and sleeping. Chief's secret talent is that he loves to howl with the piano or harmonica. While he'll sing to any genre, his howls become increasingly soulful when someone plays the blues. |
