He worked for the US Agency for International Development (USAID) for 27 years, including being the first director of USAID/Iraq with a $4 billion reconstruction and development portfolio, the largest such US program since the Marshall Plan. He served as US Ambassador to the Kingdom of Swaziland during the administration of President George W. Bush. Lucke has lived and worked in eleven countries during his foreign service career: Mali, Senegal, Costa Rica, Tunisia, Bolivia, Jordan, Kuwait, Haiti, Brazil, Iraq and Swaziland. In 2010, he led the initial US response to the Haiti earthquake. Ambassador Lucke is the author of “Waiting for Rain: Life & Development in Mali, W. Africa” (1999) and is fluent in both French and Spanish. His overseas development work has included the areas of disaster response, economic policy reform, microfinance, HIV/AIDS programs, infrastructure development, governance, food aid and private sector development.

    Ambassador Lucke now brokers US investment into developing countries in Africa, the Caribbean and the Middle East and chairs a bio-fuels company that converts trash and waste into biofuels. Most of his current overseas work is in the areas of affordable housing, renewable energy, power and infrastructure development.
