Luke Anderson

StopGap Executive Director

Meet Luke Anderson, the Co-Founder and Executive Director of StopGap Foundation.

Luke was a gifted athlete and avid mountain biker. While attempting a 25-foot gap on a bike trail, he sustained a spinal chord injury and was suddenly introduced to a world that was not well-suited for someone who uses a wheelchair. His frustration from encountering barriers in the built environment grew and drove him to make a real difference in his community, sparking the beginning of StopGap Foundation and its brightly painted ramps.
