My Why: Luke Mauk

MY WHY:
As a former Airborne Infantryman in the 82nd Airborne Division, I had the honor of serving my country and deploying to Iraq in 2020. That chapter of my life taught me discipline, resilience, and the meaning of true brotherhood—but it also exposed me to the mental and emotional battles that many veterans face long after returning home. I have personally struggled with addiction, and I’ve walked alongside people I love as they fought their own battles. These experiences shaped my purpose. They are the reason I chose to step into a new mission—one of service, healing, and hope. Today, as a Client Relations Team Lead at Warriors Heart, I serve a community that has given so much to me. My work is driven by selfless service and a deep desire to give back. Helping warriors rebuild their lives is more than a job—it’s an extension of my calling to stand shoulder to shoulder with those who’ve been through the fire and are ready to rise again.
