Mini bio
How it started.
Growing up in Alaska gave Luke his love of fishing and exploration. He later studied at Brigham Young University and George Mason University, became a criminal defense lawyer in Virginia and began posting fishing videos around the time his first son was born.
From fishing to family adventures.
His fishing channel Catfish and Carp came before Outdoor Boys, which launched in May 2015. In 2020, he moved into making videos full time. Outdoor Boys brought together solo wilderness trips, family travel, campfire meals and practical projects.
The audience grew.
Clips circulating on TikTok helped introduce Outdoor Boys to new viewers in late 2023. By his May 2025 farewell, Luke said the channel had gained about 12 million subscribers in 18 months. He stepped back to protect family time and privacy.
What came next.
Luke released three unfinished Outdoor Boys films in November 2025 and made a guest camping video for MyLifeOutdoors. He began serving on a church youth advisory council that December and returned to his law school as a commencement speaker in May 2026.
