Luke is a Buddhist practitioner and writer.

As a practitioner he started his training in 2006 in the Vipassana tradition at Dhamma Dharā. After practicing with S.N. Goenka’s teachings for many years he became inspired by the Zen teachings of Shunryū Suzuki around 2020. After practicing on his own in that style for some time he started participating in the sangha at the New York Zen Center in 2024. He is currently enrolled in the 2025 cohort of the program Foundations in Contemplative Care, which facilitates compassionate care for others rooted in Zen practice.

As a writer he has mostly focused on poetry but also blogs here on spiritual topics. He has taken classes at Gotham Writers and Brooklyn Poets. He is currently working on his first poetry collection titled Neither Darkness Nor Light.
