Our TEAM

Luke is President of Danna Capital. He has a Bachelor of Arts from Le Moyne College and a Master of Science from Marquette University, where he began his development career by evaluating the housing needs of vulnerable and at-risk members of the community. During his time as a mental health therapist in Milwaukee, Luke realized that his patients were united by a common problem: a lack of safe and affordable housing. Inspired by the housing first movement, which prioritizes providing safe housing to address the root cause of mental health challenges, Luke made the decision to transition his career to affordable housing development. 

Luke graduated top of his class from the Associate in Commercial Real Estate (ACRE) program, an industry supported initiative to expand minority representation in commercial real estate and began working for both non-profit and for-profit housing developers in the Midwest, including two of the top 25 affordable housing developers in the nation. 

In May 2020, Luke founded Danna Capital with a mission of providing resident and community-centric housing solutions. 

Luke is a frequent speaker at WHEDA and industry-sponsored events and was recognized as 2021’s ‘Emerging Leader’ by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago for the significant impact he has made in the world of affordable housing and for his leadership in advocating for and mentoring other minority development firms.
