My name is Luke, and I am a student at BYU studying construction management. I enjoy being outdoors, skiing, hunting, and spending time with friends and family. I am interested in gaining hands-on experience in construction and learning more about the industry as I prepare for my future career.

Describe your college experience

My transition to college has been a really good experience so far. Coming to BYU has been a big change from what I was used to, especially having to manage my own time and balance school, work, and other responsibilities. It took some time to get into a good routine, but I have learned a lot about being independent and staying organized. I have also enjoyed meeting new people and getting more experience in construction management through my classes and internships. Overall, I feel like college has helped me grow a lot, and I am excited about what I can accomplish while I am here.

Tip for future students

- College will go by a lot faster than you think. While you are here get as involved as you can - You will meet some of your best friends in the most random places, so always be open to meeting new people - The more you schedule, the more time you will have - Find hobbies that allow you to get away from school for a little. Get outside and go hiking. Learn to rockclimb. Anything that gets you outdoors

Favorite class

My favorite class has been my Residential Landscape Design class. I was able to develop my design skills and my professor was the best.

Career goals

I hope to work as a project manager at a construction company.

Ideal way to spend a free night

My ideal way to spend a free night would be to go out to dinner with my wife and some friends at a restaurant I haven't been to before.

High school or secondary school

Mountain View High School

Favorite spot on campus

My favorite spot on campus is the botanical gardens. It is a great place to get outside of the classroom for a little and decompress. It is also a great place to walk around and stretch your legs after sitting in the MARB for two hours.
