Meet Our Crew
Drew Philippi
Owner
Hey Pedalers! As the owner of Group Therapy, I have loved creating an unforgettable entertainment experience for each and every tour. It’s been so humbling seeing this business grow through the years, it has surpassed all of my wildest dreams. Outside of Group Therapy I am either hiking in Colorado, relaxing with my three awesome kids, or taking care of my two miniature donkeys- Garth and Wayne.

Hello there! I’m Johnny I have been driving here for just a couple of weeks and I have an absolute blast each time. Hope you guys have just as much fun as I do! I am currently studying graphic design and journalism here at UNL. When I’m not studying or working you can catch me sketching, enjoying mixed marital arts, or just chilling with friends and family. As a therapist I can tell you alcohol will not solve your problems, but neither will water. Looking forward to being making some great memories!

I’m Joel, 6 year Therapy veteran. Over the years I’ve learned that Group Therapy is not only fun for the pedalers, but the drivers as well. I love meeting new people with new adventures every week. When not on the bikes, I can usually be found on the volleyball court, or trying out a new restaurant. I’m kind of a foodie!
Casey Tillisch
Driver
Hiii, I’m Casey! If I’m not driving your group therapy I’ve probably got a camera in my hands or am working a Husker sporting event saying “next year is our year”. (I really do feel good about this year though). I love a chaotic playlist that switches from Koe Wetzel to Aerosmith to Hannah Montana and all the good stuff in between. Hope to spend a couple hours with you this summer!!
