Get to Know Luke
Practicing law is only part of who I am. Here’s a quick look at the person behind the suit from surprising past jobs to the endurance challenges that keep me grounded.
Quick Facts
- Unexpected First Job: Before practicing law, I worked as the personal chauffeur for the Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin. A role that taught me patience, professionalism, and the value of earning trust.
- Weekend Routine: You’ll usually find me starting my mornings early, hitting a CrossFit workout, and spending Sundays at church.
- Record-Breaking Fitness Feat: My best CrossFit MURPH time is 38:53. I also completed a grueling 8-hour endurance challenge, logging 97,500 meters across rowing, biking, and running – with no breaks.
- Signature Style: I’m known around the office for my collection of fun socks – it’s a small but daily reminder to not take life too seriously.
