I’m Luke Stephens, but you can call me hakluke.
Most people know me as a computer hacker.
I document the things I learn about cybersecurity, wealth creation, and lifestyle design. I'm a techie and a minimalist, always seeking to simplify the complex. I'm a light traveller who craves exploration, connection, authenticity and growth.
I founded two businesses: a cybersecurity consultancy called Haksec, and a marketing agency for cybersecurity orgs called HackerContent. With these two projects, I'm fulfilling two of my life purposes: protecting humans, and reforming the cybersecurity marketing landscape.
When I'm not managing Haksec and HackerContent, I'm a dad, a hacker, a coder and a qualified jazz trumpet player. My ultimate goal is to build an incredible life for myself and my family.
