About Luke

• Born in West Virginia, but moved to Palm Beach, Florida when I was three years old—moved back to West Virginia when I was 14 and it was a massive culture shock.
• After high school, I attended a community college in Illinois, where I played baseball.
• Attended Marshall Community and Technical College, where I earned my associates’s degree in physical therapy.
• While I was still in college, at 21 years old, my daughter was born—I had to raise her pretty much by myself for the first few years of her life and went to school right alongside her.
• After college, I worked as a physical therapist assistant for over eight years—I truly loved it, but after a while, I got tired of doing it day-in and day-out.
• I took my passion for helping people and started a community development group that helped feed and clothe local children.
• Began volunteering with Coalfield Development, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting the development of Appalachia and its people.
• Eventually, I took on a full-time position working as a property manager for Coalfield Development, where I help oversee the various projects and properties we work on.
