Meet The Team

I am Luke T. Kues, the Executive Director of True Community. Creating positive change is at the core of my personal mission. Recently, I earned my Master’s in Public Health from the University of Maryland, further equipping me to make a meaningful impact.
I founded True Community with a simple yet powerful belief: everyone deserves the opportunity to live well. For us, this starts with expanding access to lifesaving skills like First Aid and CPR. Since our inception, we’ve established 20 training centers across the United States and 4 centers in Ghana, empowering over 15,000 individuals with the knowledge and skills to save lives. At True Community, we’re more than just a training organization—we’re a movement dedicated to creating healthier, safer, and more resilient communities. Join us as we continue to make a difference, one life-saving skill at a time.
 

Together, we can build a world where everyone has the tools to thrive.

I have been a certified CPR/First Aid Instructor since 2013 and became an Instructor Trainer in 2021. I hold an A.S. in Fire Science, a B.S. in Safety Science, and an M.S. in Safety Management. As the Associate Executive Director, I help oversee organization-wide operations for the Training Services division. My responsibilities include developing policies and procedures to support our daily functions, as well as assisting with instructor onboarding and professional development.

I hold two bachelor's degrees in Marketing and Business Management from Saint Leo University, where I graduated in 2021. I also earned a Master’s degree in Data Science and Analytics with a specialization in Machine Learning from Graceland University in 2024. Since joining True Community in late 2020, I have overseen all marketing and data analysis efforts, helping to drive strategy and growth. In addition to these responsibilities, I serve as the Assistant Executive Director, supporting organizational leadership and operations across departments.

I hold a degree in Pre-med Psychology and Nursing from Purdue University, and I’m currently completing my Master’s in Public Health. I’ll be starting law school in Fall 2025 to focus on Public Health Law. I’ve been with True Community since 2023, where I lead wellness initiatives, write grants, and manage administrative operations like payroll, certifications, and our Associate Partner Program.
