Lucas credits his coaching style and information to the players and coaches surrounding him who have helped lead him to where he is today.  He is always finding new ways to teach and learn from all his hours on the beach and in the gym.

When not coaching, you can find Lucas on the beach at Main Beach or Rio working to keep his AAA , riding his bike, gardening, or tutoring math and science.
