About

A Florence, South Carolina native, Luke was a kicker and punter at Wofford College and helped the Terriers win three consecutive Southern Conference championships from 2017 to 2019. In addition to holding several school records, Luke holds the NCAA FCS record for most PATs made in a career without a miss.

 

After graduating from Wofford, Luke attended the University of South Carolina School of Law, where he served as the Senior Article Editor of the Journal of Law & Education.

 

After earning his J.D. in 2023, Luke clerked for the Honorable J. Mark Hayes, II on South Carolina's Circuit Court for the Seventh Judicial Circuit.

 

His commitment to community engagement is reflected through his service with several boards and professional organizations, including Leadership Florence, United Way of Florence County, and the Florence Humane Society.

 

He currently resides on Daniel Island with his dog, Moo, and enjoys exploring Charleston's vibrant culinary scene and spending time outdoors as much as possible.
