As a NRA, BCA and BCI certified instructor, a competitive shooter and distinguished graduate of Front Sight academy, his experience with firearms have earned him the respect of those in the shooting community as a expert in the use of deadly force and handgun and rifle skills.

In 2017 Luke was selected as a survivalist on the Discovery Channel's new show, ""The Wheel"". Luke survived in 6 places in South America over 60 days alone. With ingenuity, hard work and determination he excelled in the wild, building complex shelters with the materials available, catching 142 fish and killing a caiman with a machete. His drive and determination in wilderness survival is only outpaced by the grit and determination he showed as he beat stage 3 thyroid cancer in 2013.

The main lessons Luke likes to share is

  1. How we are much stronger than we think we are, and that no matter what life throws at you, you never ever give up.

  2. To find the small things in life to be thankful for. It's only when we see the small joys around us that we can truly see how good we really have it and be thankful for what we have.

With a lifetime of stories and examples he has a plethora of analogies to help his audience understand the truths and feel as though they were actually there.
