His journey began in Fountain Valley, California, where he learned the value of hard work while working in his family’s donut shop for just 25 cents an hour. Under Luke's leadership, NewAir achieved significant milestones, including $80 million in sales in a single year and multiple placements on the Inc. 500 list. He successfully pivoted the company from a 100% B2C model to a multi-channel strategy, partnering with major retailers like Home Depot and Amazon. In mid-2021, after 20 years of dedication while retaining 100% of the stock, Luke sold NewAir in a mid-eight-figure deal . Today, he serves as a strategic CEO coach, leveraging his extensive experience to help other entrepreneurs navigate their paths to success. Luke is also a father of six and an avid surfer, embodying a balanced lifestyle that values both family and business.
