Experienced hand in developing materials handling projects and recycling systems.  Luke works with customers to build all aspects of a project, liaising with experts back at OKAY to ensure all areas of a plant are fully and soundly developed.  Despite his professional outlook, he is likely to throw in a quip or two along the way.
