If the title doesn't say enough about the intriguing nature of Luke, his career, and his mindset, consider that he also does CRAZY EPIC swims to bring awareness to amazing causes. I'm talking swimming to Alcatraz, towing boats to train, and other crazy stuff.
Luke talks about his entry into the Law Enforcement world starting at Chicago PD, moving to warmer CA Highway Patrol, then onto FBI where he could use his multilingual skills certified with the Department of Defense in 5 other languages (Greek, Turkish, Serbian, Arabic and Russian!)
Now he is a pilot and flight instructor, and our conversation reminds us to perfect our craft- diving into continually honing our skills and personal health one day at a time.
