As a former Officer of the Israeli Defense Forces, Rafael’s approach to management and leadership has been influenced by years of experience commanding his brigade. Since founding United Restoration in 2006, Rafael has built one of Florida’s preeminent disaster recovery and remediation firms by virtue of his unwavering commitment to providing clients with honest and reliable services. Today, Rafael’s strengths in building successful teams and strategic planning for large losses shines through every facet of the organization’s operations. Considered by many as an unconventional CEO, Rafael takes a hands-on approach to management and spends 75% of each work week out in the field with his employees ensuring that clients are consistently receiving a standard of service that is unmatched by any other company in the state.

Rafael has managed hundreds of large loss commercial and government disaster recovery and remediation projects for over two decades. He has diversified experience in all phases of disaster recovery and remediation, including storm and hurricane disaster restoration, water damage restoration, mold remediation, fire and smoke damage restoration, and biohazard remediation. He is a Florida licensed mold assessor and mold remediator and holds industry certifications from organizations including the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification, the National Association of Environmentally Responsible Mold Contractors, as well as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
