Born and raised in the Florida Keys, Luke has spent his entire life in and around the water. From an early age he spent most of his free time knee deep in the Florida Bay chasing crabs and other aquatic critters. This love for collecting sea creatures led to the purchase of his first aquarium at 13 with his entire earnings from his job working at a brine shrimp farm going towards this new hobby. It was in taking care of this little aquarium and the subsequently larger ones that followed, that Luke learned many hard lessons and the importance of proper animal husbandry.  

At age 18, Luke was hired to work at the local pet store, where he spent the next 12 plus years taking care of their fish section and growing his aquatic knowledge. During this time, he was sent out on many aquarium installs and other service calls at the behest of the pet store. As time progressed, these outings led to a secondary form of employment, as his passion for caring for these underwater worlds led many of these customers to hire him on to continue servicing, maintaining, and growing their aquariums. It was during a routine visit to one of these clients, some years later, that Luke reconnected with Robert, a childhood friend who he had lost contact with over the years. After realizing that they both had the same idea of starting an official business to compete with the only other aquarium maintenance company in town, World in a Glass Bottle was formed and the rest, as they say, is history.
