Luke graduated from East Brunswick High School in 2019 and is continuing his education at Rowan University as an engineering major.

Luke completed his service project at Holy Trinity as the project manager for the planning, landscaping and restoration of an existing prayer labyrinth on the church grounds, according to information provided by NSDAR.  

Luke was also presented with the NSDAR Challenge Coin. The challenge coin tradition was introduced as early as the Roman Empire, who rewarded soldiers by presenting them with coins to recognize their achievements.  More currently, during World War I and World War II, challenge coins were used by American volunteers and military pilots to confirm their identity when downed in enemy territory, or behind Allied lines without proper identification, according to the statement. Luke was presented these awards by DAR to always remind him of his extraordinary accomplishment and the high ideals that Scouting represent.
