Luke and Janet have two sons, Hudson (4) and Samuel (infant). They have lived in Evanston for the past 3 years as Luke completed his Master of Divinity at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. As he worked on his degree, Luke was also involved with RUF at Northwestern: first as a volunteer leader, and then as the part-time minister. He now serves as the full-time campus pastor. 

Before attending Trinity, Luke received a BA in philosophy from the University of Missouri, led backpacking trips in Colorado, where he met Janet, spent a year in Kenya as a missionary intern, and served for three years at a church in Missouri as the Director of Student Ministries. Luke enjoys a good book and a good bike ride. He fancies himself a triathlete, with very little evidence to back up this claim, and he probably watches just a bit too much sports.
