About Luke

I grew up in small town Minnesota and was a college track athlete in the artillery division. If you don't like accounting, I can relate. I hated accounting as an undergrad and changed majors to avoid taking a second class. Ten years later I wound up back where I started. 

I've been an Iowa resident since 2008 and a Van Meter resident since 2018. I'm married to Tona with four great kids, two spoiled dogs, and an indifferent cat. I enjoy chasing my kids' activities, grilling & bbq, morning workouts, time on the lake, and a good rye or IPA.  

My credentials and education include: 

• Certified Public Accountant (CPA)
• Certified Management Accountant (CMA)
• Registered Investment Adviser (Series 65)
• MBA in Finance, University of Iowa
• Masters & Bachelors in Accounting, Auburn University
• Masters in Finance & Economics, West Texas A&M
• Bachelor's in International Management/Spanish, Gustavus Adolphus College
