Meet the Team: Luke Forbing
Luke Forbing, our Chief Financial Officer, will be back for his second season with Bluebird. While we don’t throw everything else to the wind in pursuit of a huge bottom line (like some resorts), our finances are still pretty darn important. When we are doing well financially we are able to reinvest in Bluebird and make the visitor experience even better. Luke does the important work that helps us achieve this win, win outcome. If you want to talk finance and get your open water SCUBA certification while you’re on your next trip to Honduras, then Luke is your guy.
