Owner, ACE L5 Certified Guide, ACE L1-L4 Lead Instructor - Las Vegas, Canyoneering & Rappelling

Originally from the Midwest, the Great Plains didn’t offer enough vertical excitement for me and I knew I’d eventually leave. That opportunity came with a new job travelling the world with Cirque Du Soleil. I spent my free time of the next decade as an Ecotourist hiking, paddling, and playing in the wilderness. I settled down in Las Vegas in 2014 and Canyoneering quickly became my favorite outdoor activity. When not descending canyons, you’ll most likely find me Ultra running in the desert and mountains.

Luke, originally from northern NJ, has spent the last 12 years in the American west, setting down roots in Colorado and Las Vegas. As a kid, Luke attended a wilderness focused sleepaway camp that inspired his love of the outdoors through multi-day canoeing, backpacking, spelunking, rock climbing, and fishing trips. Following a move to Las Vegas in 2020, he caught the canyoneering bug and acknowledges it is now his one true obsession. Having quickly racked up hundreds of canyon runs in a few short years, Luke is ecstatic to combine his professional background in education and guiding with his newfound love of canyoneering as an instructor for Uber in the Las Vegas area. When not working with his students, academic and canyoneering alike, Luke is almost certainly out in a canyon, perhaps one he’s done 30 times before.
