Ten years ago, Luke Huffman moved to Forney and started doing what neighbors do — meeting people at church, showing up at school events, volunteering, cheering on kids at weekend sports. His wife grew up here, so the roots ran even deeper from day one.

Over time, Luke became the person people called when they needed to know who to trust. Who's the good plumber? Who actually shows up when they say they will? Who won't leave a mess or pad the invoice? Luke always had an answer — because he'd already done the homework.

It started as a mental list and a habit of referring good people to good businesses. It became something bigger when Luke realized his neighbors were wasting hours on Google reviews and Nextdoor threads trying to find someone trustworthy — and still crossing their fingers when they made the call.

So he built a directory. Not a platform, not an algorithm — a list of businesses he'd personally send his own family to. Every one of them vetted the way a neighbor would vet them.

Why'd he do it? Honestly? Disney money. Luke will tell you straight — he built Luke's List because he saw a real need in Forney and figured if he was going to put in the work, it might as well fund a few family trips along the way. Nothing wrong with that.

What you get on the other end is a neighbor who has skin in the game — someone who lives in the same community, knows the same streets, and isn't going anywhere.
