Luke Tomsha

Founder & Executive Director - Full-time

luke@perfectlyflawed.org

Luke Tomsha is the founder and director of The Perfectly Flawed Foundation, a community-based organization located in LaSalle, IL, 100 miles southwest of Chicago. Luke’s journey began in 2015 after over 14 years of chaotic heroin use. Luke was a familiar face in a small town who came forward with his addiction in 2015 to confront stigma in his community after his friend, Ryan, overdosed and died while Luke was away at rehab. After Ryan’s passing, Luke abandoned his career as a technology director in the pursuit of happiness and something that gave his life more meaningful purpose and value. 

In 2017, Luke started The Perfectly Flawed Foundation to build a trusted entry point in his community for people looking to make positive lifestyle changes related to substance use. 

Luke wears his passion on his sleeve and advocates on behalf of people who use drugs, their families and ensuring that people with lived experience have a meaningful seat at the table. He is an active member of the Illinois Opioid Advisory, Illinois Harm Reduction & Recovery Advocates, and Reducing Barriers to Recovery Coalition.  In 2020, Luke was appointed to Governor Pritzker’s Opioid Steering Committee as a representative with lived experience.
