Luke is an elite triathlete and former professional modern pentathlete who brings over a decade of high-performance experience to his coaching. He represented Great Britain for six years on the world stage, competing at World Cups and World and European Championships across multiple continents. His career has spanned not only elite-level sport, but also extraordinary challenges—including a 59-day row around Great Britain, raising nearly £50,000 for charity in the process. He also spent three seasons tree planting in Alberta and Northern British Columbia, an experience that built deep resilience and a connection to the outdoors that continues to shape his approach to training and life.
Now based in Vancouver, Canada, Luke balances life as a full-time firefighter with racing at the top of the amateur triathlon scene. He is currently undefeated at the 70.3 distance, with four overall 70.3 victories and a dominant win at the 2025 T100 Vancouver event. He also completed his first full-distance Ironman in 8 hours and 35 minutes.
Luke is also the co-founder and team manager of the elite squad at Hummingbird Collective—a high-performance and community-driven triathlon team dedicated to making endurance sport more accessible and inspiring. His passion lies in sharing the sport of triathlon with others and giving back to the broader community through education, motivation, and support.
Luke offers a unique perspective to coaching, blending elite athletic experience with a grounded, inclusive approach. Whether you’re chasing a personal best, improving your health, or entering the sport for the first time, Luke is committed to helping you thrive.
“I believe that movement and performance are for everyone. Through structure, support, and smart training, I aim to help athletes unlock their potential while still enjoying the journey. If you love what you do, you’ll go further—and have more fun getting there.”
