When America
Forgot What Built It

For too long, the skilled trades have been overlooked, undervalued, and underrepresented. Young people are told to chase degrees instead of mastery. Communities lose their builders. And pride in American-made work fades a little more each year.

But we are here to change that.

The Man Behind the Movement

Kory Anderson is more than a builder. He is a visionary. From reviving century-old engineering with his record-breaking steam engine project to leading Dakota Foundry, one of America’s Top 100 Small Business finalists, Kory has dedicated his life to preserving and advancing the skilled trades.

He founded Iron Warrior to train the next generation and to pass on the values that shaped him: resilience, innovation, and faith-driven purpose.

Because this is not just a business. It is a mission.

“Enrolling in Iron Warrior absolutely transformed my path. The immersive accelerator pushed me hard — beyond welding and casting, into leadership, mental resilience and team‑first mentality. Now I show up on the jobsite not just as a tradesperson, but as someone with confidence, purpose and the warrior mindset.”

“I came into the with no real idea what I wanted to do. The hands‑on foundry work, welding deep dives, the physical training and character exercises — it all added up. Today I have a meaningful trade career, and thanks to the Iron Warrior training, I carry myself differently: focused, capable, ready. I’m proud to call myself part of the warrior tribe.”

“This program didn’t just teach me how to cast metal or weld; it shaped how I handle pressure, lead a team, and take ownership. If you’re ready to stop drifting and start dominating your industry — Iron Warrior is the catalyst. I walked out with a skill set and a mindset I never saw coming.”
