Who I Am

Some of Luca's family, including his great-great grandfather, pose with their catch after fishing.

Born and Raised Montanan

My family has been in the Flathead Valley for six generations. This is my home, and always will be. I don't simply hope it will be as wonderful for the next six generations, I will fight for that future.

Luca uses a spotting scope to conduct a goat and sheep survey near Siyeh Pass in Glacier.

My Involvement

I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had to serve my community over the years, including volunteering for the Citizen Science Program in Glacier National Park, serving on MT FWP's Future Fisheries Citizen Review Panel, and advocating for the environment with Citizens' Climate Lobby and UM Climate Response Club.

Education

After graduating from high school and attending the American Legion's Montana Boys State, I attended the University of Montana. I graduated in the Spring of 2025 with a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies and a Bachelor of Science in Sustainability Science and Practice. There I was a part of the Davidson Honors College and the Franke Global Leadership Initiative.

Luca guides a group of clients down Bonecrusher rapid on the Middle Fork of the Flathead River.

My Employment

While at UM, I worked for Campus Recreation's Outdoor Program as a trip leader, taking students on backpacking, cross-country skiing, and canoeing trips. I am now a river guide out of West Glacier during the summers and a substitute teacher during the winter.

Luca stands at the base of the steps to Comeau Pass in hiking gear.

What Brings Me Joy

I love recreating outside, namely skiing, hiking, backpacking, climbing, kayaking...you get the idea. When I'm not in the great outdoors, I'm probably reading, playing a board game with friends and family, making music, or watching Star Wars or Lord of the Rings (again).
