He lived in Havana for another four years before moving back to Oakland around age eight. Before he was ten years old, he was already gaining great insights on life, travel, and culture as he moved from place to place. As a kid, Lucas enjoyed running around, being outdoors, and playing sports. As he grew, he was an active participant in many sports including water polo, basketball, and baseball. Baseball was always his all-time favorite. He would continue playing baseball throughout college until he was forced to stop due to injury. Lucas Jubb put in a lot of time and focus with baseball, earning him a scholarship to play in college. Baseball not only taught him important athletic and training skills, it also taught him valuable life skills and team dynamics he would go on to use in his professional career.
From 1996 to 2000, Lucas Jubb attended St. Mary’s College, earning his Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. Five years later in 2005, he completed his Master’s degree in Psychology. While completing his degrees, Lucas also studied language, becoming fluent in English, Spanish, and French.

After earning his Bachelor’s degree, Lucas Jubb spent two years working as an Activities Director for Club Med. Under this role he spent time traveling to different parts of the world including Florida, Colorado, and the Dominican Republic. At each resort, he was in charge of managing and directing shows and events and even performing as an actor and dancer on occasion. After Club Med, Lucas Jubb spent some time traveling through Europe and then returned home to pursue his Master’s degree.
Currently, Lucas Jubb holds a professional role in business management consulting. In this role, he has helped many entrepreneurs, CEOs, and business leaders obtain easier access to the tools they need to succeed while building strong relationships with his clients to implement unique and customized business strategies. Working in business management has been a very rewarding experience for Lucas making a difference in the lives of others through business growth and personal success.
Along with his work in business management, Lucas also stands as a Project Manager for United Way in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

With United Way, Lucas is largely involved in mentoring. He helps match local organization mentors to young people in the community and is also responsible for mentor training, mentor screenings, and follow ups.
Additionally, Lucas works with various universities in Texas and Maryland, implementing coaching programs designed to help keep undergraduates from dropping out. His main mission is to inspire and motivate kids to get excited about their lives, futures, and professional careers.
Personal Hobbies and Interests
Outside of his professional life, Lucas Jubb still enjoys playing sports and staying active. He enjoys playing competitive slow pitch softball, attending tournaments and weekly games throughout the year. Playing softball allows Lucas to keep healthy and active while traveling and meeting new people. Softball is such a great sport, because it involves such a wide variety of skill sets from hitting, pitching, throwing catching, sprinting, diving, and more. It also involves a great deal of intense focus and hand-eye coordination, preparing for each pitch and understanding the best movements and plays once the ball is hit. Lucas has found great happiness and passion within sports. He often uses metaphors from sports in his professional work, teaching about teamwork, leadership, dedication, failure, success, and other valuable life lessons.
Food Tourism
Continuing with his passion for travel, Lucas Jubb enjoys dabbling in food tourism. According to his taste buds, there’s no better way to experience an area than to dive into its flavors! While some tourists bring home trinkets as souvenirs, he prefers to bring home recipes. During his travels, he’ll often pick up recipe books to bring back home. This tradition began when he visited the United Kingdom and found himself fascinated by the flavors of British cuisine. Longing to savor the flavors, he purchased Jamie’s Great Britain, a colorful capture of cuisine by world famous British chef, Jamie Oliver. Filled with recipes and photos that’ll make your mouth water, this book is a fantastic introduction to British cuisine and cooking techniques!
