Born and raised in the NT, Luke grew up with horses in his blood and in his heart! Luke and his family moved to WA in November 2023 so Luke could pursue his equestrian passion.


Luke came into the world facing a unique challenge - a genetic condition called 22q11.21 micro deletion syndrome that led to frequent hospitalisations and surgeries. It was his love for horses and his determination to ride that got him through the many tough times.


Despite facing many obstacles, Luke’s mindset is guided by the belief in his ability. He firmly holds the conviction that #DisIsJustAPrefix, emphasizing that his capabilities far outweigh any limitations. His ultimate dream is simple yet profound – to inspire everyone to be the best they can be whatever they choose.


Luke is currently a member of the EWA Para High Performance Squad and has been selected as a member of the Australian Team that will head back to the UK for the Virtus World Games in July 2025.


Luke is also hoping to compete at the Australian Virtus Para Nationals to be held on the eastern seaboard late 2025.


Please join Luke on his journey!
