Born and raised in France, Fabrice and his parents moved to the New York area in 1977. A graduate of New York University Business School, Fabrice started his 21+ year career in the travel industry working for the largest chain of leisure travel agencies on the east coast. From there, he entered to the world of corporate travel in New York City managing multi-million dollar international accounts where he spent almost 10 years in a fast-paced and demanding environment sharpening his skills.
Upon moving to San Diego, Fabrice has been working with large local agencies, tour operators and consolidators. He also started teaching part time at Carlson Travel Academy for 3 years. He then moved to part time instructor in 2000 at MiraCosta College in Oceanside. In 2001, Fabrice and his partner started their own travel company focusing on internet travel sales. In just over 5 years, it is now the largest travel agency in San Diego county with sales reaching $120 million per year by the end of 2006. Predicted sales for 2007 should be over $200 million.
Throughout his career, Fabrice has had experience in virtually every facet of the travel industry including corporate, leisure, group, specialty, consolidator and incentive travel. This wide variety of experience makes him a “natural” at teaching the travel industry in addition to teaching the live Amadeus system at MiraCosta.
