National Security
Luke brings over a decade of experience in national security to solve complex problems. His work ntegrates strategic policy, capability development, and operational innovation to strengthen deterrence and enable calibrated use of force across domains. With a background in Marine Corps operations and public policy scholarship, he bridges defense strategy and ethical governance, advancing frameworks that enhance national resilience, uphold American principles, and ensure that emerging technologies and intermediate capabilities align with just war theory and constitutional order.
Scholarship and Commentary
Luke’s scholarship examines the moral and philosophical foundations of American public policy, focusing on how religious and natural law principles inform both domestic and national security decision-making. His research explores the intersection of faith, governance, and strategy, emphasizing that enduring security depends on moral order as much as military strength. Drawing from Christian theology and the Western tradition, his work argues that policy must reflect a transcendent moral ethic rooted in human dignity, justice, and restraint, guiding the formulation of laws and the exercise of national power.
