Luke grew up in small town in East Central Wisconsin. He started helping the neighbor milk cows at a young age and eventually started raising Livestock of his own for 4-H. That is where Luke found his passion and drive for the agricultural industry. He continued to feed that passion and drive while attending North Dakota State University where he graduated with a B.S. in Animal Science and a minor in Ag Business.
While studying at North Dakota State University, Luke pursued gaining knowledge of the cattle and grain industry, worked part time and immersed himself in numerous college activities. He spent his summers doing internships with feed yards, cow calf operations, grain farming and marketing. Because of the aforementioned internships, Luke had the opportunity to travel abroad to Australia where he worked for a cow calf operation and helped the family prepare and compete in the Sydney Royal Easter cattle show.
Luke joined the Hurley team in the spring of 2020 and will use his professional experience and formal knowledge to help break down farm financials and establish a customized marketing plan for his clients. Luke lives in Alexandria, MN, with his wife and their sons, Stetson and Kipp.
