Luke Tubia

I was born and raised right here in Central New York and graduated from Ilion High School. My passion to bring people the news and a love of broadcasting brought me to Utica College where I studied Broadcast Journalism. In my time here at WIBX, I have been proud to be a part of the Heart Radio-thon and the best Boilermaker coverage there is. In my free time I love to explore the Adirondacks while kayaking and camping every spring/summer. I also love sports including the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Yankees and the New York Knicks. Since Utica brought the Comets back in 2013 I've enjoyed getting more into hockey as well! Since 2012 I have not cut my hair so I will eventually be able to make a donation to an organization that makes wigs for children suffering from hair loss due to illness. I am also one of the biggest Simpsons fans you will meet! Go Pioneers! Go Comets!
