Luke Adams

Luke was a former army brat - he moved/traveled all across the United States with his military family before his family and he finally settled down in Colorado. Luke went to Rochester Institute of Technology where he studied in Criminal Justice and graduated with Bachelor of Science in C.J. in May 2008. Originally, Luke applied for Amazing Race: Family Edition with his family and got cut after few rounds of the interviews. Luke and his mother, Margie, applied several times before they finally got on Season 14 of Amazing Race! Luke was the first Deaf person to race around the world along with his mother, Margie. Margie and Luke raced all the way to end where they made it to the Final Three and fell short from winning Amazing Race. After the first run of Amazing Race, Luke became an advocate for the Deaf community and travels the United States to give the speeches to inspire people to chase after their dreams. Once again, Margie and Luke returned to compete on Amazing Race to face off with ten returning former teams from five different season. Margie and Luke made it to the halfway of the race and got eliminated as in resulting from daunting tea-tasing challenge. During Luke's downtime, he loves exploring new places and try new things! And, hopefully to explore the world more at slow pace!!
