Originally from South Africa, Richard Leibman moved to the United States in 1977. Settling in Houston, Texas, he purchased FROSCH from the Frosch family as a newcomer to the travel industry. At that point, the company, established in 1972, employed only four agents and two support staff. FROSCH now employs more than 1800, with dozens of offices across the country. Today, Richard is joined in the business by two of his three children, Bryan and Lara. Since 1998, the company has expanded by an average of 30% per year through organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
