The Chris Project

Idan Shpizear is the founder and CEO of 911 Restoration, a disaster restoration franchise ranked among the top franchises in the United States by Entrepreneur. In addition to running one of the fastest growing franchises in the country, he is a sought-after speaker and a thought leader in business and marketing innovations.Idan is a true "coming to America" success story. 

The son of an Israeli farmer, Idan's business journey began when he moved to the United States after completing his service in the military. He took a job at a carpet cleaning company, then took over ownership of that same company only one year later. At the time, Idan had only an $800 Volvo, one carpet cleaning machine, and a two-bedroom apartment he shared with four other guys. But through perseverance, ingenuity, and good business sense, he grew his humble company into the full-service restoration business now known coast-to-coast as 911 Restoration.
