Luke comes to Penn State from Mount Pleasant Mills, Pennsylvania, beginning his Penn State journey at the Altoona Commonwealth Campus. While there, he was actively involved in their Ag Club and Collegiate FFA. Being on a Commonwealth Campus hasn't stopped Luke from keeping involved with us - he's also been actively engaged in Penn State's AEE program and Penn State Teach Ag every year of his college career. While at Penn State Altoona, he continues to work hard as one of our blog writers and communications team members.
Luke will be graduating from Penn State in the spring of 2020, after completing his student teaching semester. His inspiration for becoming an agricultural teacher came from his past experience in the Midd-West FFA chapter in Middleburg, Pennsylvania. He explains that he wants to be an agricultural educator so that he is able to, "...make a difference in the world for students, and being that positive change for my students that my Ag teacher was for me."
