Then in 2018, Luke started his journey with DREAM4, followed by the addition of another beautiful baby daughter, Alice, in April 2019.
Luke’s passion for helping others and over a decade of experience in human and personal development made joining DREAM4 a natural fit. He believes that “Life doesn’t get better by chance; it gets better by change,” and sometimes people just need help and encouragement to make the first step along the path to self-discovery.

Glenn A. Lewis, SHRM, ACC, MDIV
Glenn is a native of New Jersey, and though he was raised in central Florida, he now calls the Smoky Mountains of TN home. He is the father of two college-age kids, a classical musician, and an avid Alabama Football fan.
In 2005 he began an unintentional entrepreneurial journey and, over the last 15 years, launched five business entities and worked with clients in 18 states and 4 countries. He holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree in music as well as a master’s of divinity in theology/philosophy. He had the honor of serving in ministry leadership and development in churches for more than 20 years. His 20+ years of entrepreneurial effort and ministry experience in organizational, leadership, and business development led him to become a writer, speaker, and trainer through executive coaching to assist people in discovering their purpose and path of success.
Glenn’s passion is to be a life-long learner so that he can seek to live the values he holds dear. His personal experience reflects that leaders are often in positions to lead through brokenness and weakness. He believes that while playing to their strengths and humbly learning through their weakness, leaders can rise to serve and transform the lives of people around them.

Although born and raised in Oklahoma City, Ryan has called Tennessee home for over 20 years. After graduating from Oklahoma State University with a Bachelor’s degree in International Business, he moved to Nashville to pursue a career in the Music Business. With a passion for Artist development, over the past two decades Ryan spent time as a Tour Manager, Talent Agent and Artist Manager helping to direct the careers of some of the industry’s most successful songwriters, musicians and Artists.
