Luke's Past

Luke was born and raised in Newcastle, Australia. He had an active childhood, spending most of his time doing sports like surfing, skateboarding, biking, wakeboarding and rugby league. At the age of 14, he decided to commit his life to the sport of boxing.

Luke faced some challenging times through his teen years and into his twenties. Although he was doing great in boxing he was deeply and constantly burdened by the personal traumas that ailed him. Boxing gave him a focus and a purpose to work toward during these challenging years.

Boxing

Luke fought against and trained alongside Olympians and World-Champions for over a decade as a boxer. He had a total of 70 total bouts in his career (amateur and professional boxing).

Luke fell short of the Olympics twice in his two attempts.

In 2016 Luke spent time training in Las Vegas before suffering a major injury to his shoulder. He returned home for surgery.

Luke later became the NSW professional State Champion before jetting off to train alongside some of the best boxers and coaches in the world in New York City, USA.

In 2019, while training in Brooklyn NYC, Luke decided to retire from boxing. Moving on from his professional boxing career, to expand his expertise and focus on coaching people on their mindset, joy, and performance.

During his boxing career, Luke trained and learned from some of the finest coaches throughout Australia and America.
