Professional Knowledge

Chris has always had an entrepreneurial spirit. Even before he entered adolescence, his business outlook was shaped by lemonade stands and a neighborhood car wash. Twenty years later, this dedication has produced countless profitable firms. During his undergraduate years, he co-founded Consumer Tax Relief, a tax settlement organization whose mission is to assist Americans with IRS debt. CTR formed the foundation for ZipTax, LLC, which Chris and Jim Dougal co-founded in 2012. They quickly created a national brand, boosted by the rapid expansion of television and radio advertising. ZipTax's tax attorneys and enrollment specialists would resolve more than $50 million in IRS debt on behalf of its clients.

Chris Shihadeh left his tax practice at the end of 2015 to launch a marketing firm. Marketing War was created to aid firms in their digital marketing efforts. After a few months of stagnation, he shifted to performance marketing and focused on the finance sector. Marketing War generated more than 2500 daily student loan calls within a few weeks.

With the refinancing boom in full gear, Marketing War began supplying mortgage leads for some of the nation's largest lenders and operating under the trade name Lender Daily to solidify its position in the mortgage industry. Lender Daily has sold over $1,500 in daily mortgage leads over many years, resulting in over $500 million in financed loans. Mr. Shihadeh saw the need to diversify his enterprises and began working in auto insurance, health insurance, and other industries.
