Luke Pearce
Technical Architect & Spiritual Guru
Luke has always been interested in computers ever since his parents bought him a Commodore Vic 20 for his 8th birthday! A proud computer geek with an interest in people, places and action sports!
Luke’s key skills lie in web and software development. We’re immensely proud of the blood, sweat and tears that have gone into developing the entire Astonish system – from scratch.
Luke is our rock. He does a superb job of keeping it real with his particularly calming influence around Astonish HQ. Along with meditation and yoga Luke also practices Reiki, an old Japanese laying of the hands technique for healing.
Luke adores his two dogs, Poppy and Jakes and he loves nothing more than a stroll by the seaside with his two canine companions.
: snowboarding, mountains, beaches, walking with my dogs and... yum... rhubarb crumble
: being woken up, missing breakfast, queuing, rushing and... yuck... Brussels sprouts
