CHRIS DREISBACH | THE EQUALIZER

Chris “The Equalizer” Dreisbach is flipping the script on power—transforming the very systems that once failed him into engines of radical equity. A rare fusion of street-hardened survivor and visionary entrepreneur, Chris moves seamlessly between courtrooms, boardrooms, and neighborhoods, disrupting injustice with strategy, empathy, and unrelenting resolve.

With the mind of a strategist and the heart of a reformer, Chris:

  • Builds economic justice through scalable businesses that hire justice-impacted individuals—proving that redemption and profitability can coexist.

  • Shifts policy and perception with initiatives like Second Chance PA, creating replicable blueprints for reform across the country.

  • Protects the vulnerable by transforming lived experience into systems that work—reentry housing, recovery-friendly workplaces, and trauma-informed support networks.

This isn’t charity—it’s a counteroffensive. Every enterprise launched, every barrier dismantled, every law changed is a strike against systemic failure.

The Equalizer doesn’t ask for a seat at the table. He builds new tables—where everyone eats.
