About The Foundry
Why we opened
The Foundry.
A foundry is where raw materials are shaped into something stronger. We believe people deserve the same opportunity.
Our Mission
At The Foundry Physical Therapy and Performance, we exist to forge stronger, healthier, and more resilient individuals through exceptional physical therapy, performance training, and education. We believe recovery is only the beginning. By combining evidence-based rehabilitation with strength and movement principles, we help our patients reduce pain, restore function, enhance performance, and build the confidence to live active, fulfilling lives.
Our Vision
To redefine physical therapy by creating a culture where rehabilitation, strength, wellness, and performance exist together — helping every individual realize their full potential.
Forged For Life.

I'm a PT in Janesville and the founder of The Foundry. Our mission behind The Foundry was to provide a completely different healthcare experience for the city of Janesville and surrounding communities.
I treat all ages, especially anyone who's been told to give up something they love because of injury or the fear of getting hurt again. The body is more resilient than that — the right care usually gets you back to it.
If you're a lifter chasing a PR, coming back from surgery, or just want to stay ahead of the aches, that's who I work with too.
Off the Clock
Home is my wife Casey, our three kids Caroline, Tommy, and Claire, along with our dog Caesar. Weekends I'm lifting, fishing bass, on a golf course, and spending time with my family.
What We Stand For
Our Values
01
Excellence Without Shortcut
We treat every patient with the standard of care we'd want for our own family. If a shortcut compromises the outcome, we don't take it.
02
Honesty Over Optics
We'll tell you what we see, what we don't, and what we can't help with. Transparent pricing. Transparent expectations. No sales pressure.
03
You, Not a Chart
You're a person with a life, goals, and priorities — not a diagnosis code. Every session is built around what matters to you.
04
Never Done Learning
The best clinicians are the ones who keep growing. We commit to continuing education, evidence-based practice, and staying curious.
