TV Host & Production, Scientific support

A significant part of my time is spent planning and consulting on nature productions for television, usually involving sharks or marine life. Often I am called upon to provide hosting talent and on-screen support. I believe my place in this world is to be an advocate for the environment and make science a part of our everyday language.

As a Marine Biologist Luke brings credibility and critical scientific knowledge to any nature based shoot. As on-screen talent he is personable and dynamic, able to deliver under pressure and think on the spot. All rare qualities in a highly intelligent individual. I highly value his talents in our productions.
