Luke holds a degree in Psychology and Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and his passion for helping others is evident in everything he does. He has also served as both an associate pastor and youth pastor, offering spiritual guidance and emotional support to many. Luke is CPR and First Aid certified and volunteered for the local rescue squad for over a decade, demonstrating a lifelong commitment to serving others.
