Tom is a licensed physical therapist who believes that long-term performance and resilience start with understanding how the whole body works together. His approach blends hands-on care with a focus on structural stability, movement quality, and building real-world strength—helping people move better, feel better, and stay active in the things they love.

A lifelong student of movement, Tom started training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2012 and earned his black belt in 2024. He continues to train and teach regularly and has a deep passion for working with grapplers and combat athletes, helping them stay sharp, healthy, and on the mat.

Tom holds a Doctorate of Physical Therapy and has been practicing since 2018. He’s worked extensively with both everyday athletes and high-level competitors, always with the same goal: helping people move with confidence and purpose.

At home, Tom is a proud dad to three young boys and two rescue dogs. When he’s not in the clinic or on the mats, you’ll find him fixing up guitars, exploring outdoors with his family, or homeschooling alongside his wife.
