Luke enjoys watching his hometown Houston Astros, playing action/adventure games on his PlayStation 5, and spending evenings and weekends perfecting the craft of smoking and grilling brisket, ribs, and chicken. He lives in Barnegat, NJ with his wife, Jill, their three dogs—Tank, Shiner, and Nessie—and five cats: Coco, Rio, Shipley, Dot, and Charcoal.
