Hey, I'm Luke.

I love making products that help people. Currently, I'm working on films and tools for making them at Sequence.

Previously, I was connecting the world through Community WiFi at Viasat. I've been a student of Benedictine monks at Saint Louis Priory School, and a student of Jimmy Iovine/Dr. Dre at the University of Southern California.
