Meet the People Behind the Why.

Luke believes that opportunities are often created through initiative, determination, and a willingness to take the first step. From a young age, he learned not to let other people’s expectations define what he could accomplish, and to see challenges as opportunities for growth.

His faith has been a foundation through life’s challenges and successes. He brings that perspective into his commitment to helping youth and young adults discover their strengths, build confidence, and pursue a purposeful future.

With extensive experience planning conferences, workshops, fundraisers, and community events, Luke has seen how gathering people around a shared purpose can create meaningful connections and inspire change. That experience helped shape the vision for Be The Why.

Outside of his work, Luke enjoys spending time with his family, sports, golf, the outdoors, and serving as a youth leader at his local church.

Brittany brings over 15 years of experience working with youth and young adults. She believes each person has unique gifts and talents worth discovering, developing, and celebrating.

Family is central to Brittany’s life. She and Luke are raising three children, and she values the relationships and memories they build together. She also enjoys travel, learning from different cultures, and making connections with people from different backgrounds.
