Luke started playing the contrabass in his youth and through an accident with his own instrument he discovered his love of creating and restoring instruments. He trained at Trees Breath Violin Making School in Mt. Pleasant, Utah under the exacting tutelage of Master Luthier, Paul Heart.

From hand picking the wood the instruments are made from, to the finished product, Luke takes great care in ensuring the instruments he creates are something he would want to play himself. He pays a great deal of detail, not only to the appearance of the instruments he crafts, but also to the fine details that will impact the sound quality and the muscian's experience while playing one of his instruments.
