Luke Murray’s Experience

• Owner

  Awesome Inc

  (Privately Held; Management Consulting industry)

  January 2009 — Present (11 months)

  Awesome Inc. exists to establish, grow, and connect the hi-tech, creative, and entrepreneurial communities in Lexington, KY.
  
  We are a hi-tech lab, a creative studio space, a coworking space for entrepreneurs, and a venue to host meetings and events for these three communities.
  
  We also host a 3 month mentor driven summer bootcamp for entrepreneurs focused on mobile phone technology-related companies.

• Student

  University of Kentucky College of Medicine

  (Higher Education industry)

  August 2007 — Present (2 years 4 months)

  I'm a med student - but currently taking a leave of absence to focus on Awesome Inc.

• Owner

  bookexchange.com

  (Internet industry)

  January 2004 — January 2009 (5 years 1 month)

  We connect college students with the textbooks they want to buy and have to sell by connecting students to students at the same university.
  
  My focus is rolling out our business model to schools across the country.

• Seller of Books

  Southwestern

  (Privately Held; E-Learning industry)

  May 2007 — July 2007 (3 months)

  I sold educational materials door to door for 80+hrs/wk. One of the hardest and best things I ever did in my life. Finished 33rd out of 2,000+ students in 10 weeks - the normal summer is 12.

• Lean Apprentice

  University of Kentucky Hospital

  (Health, Wellness and Fitness industry)

  August 2006 — May 2007 (10 months)

  I applied the concepts of Lean Manufacturing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_manufacturing) to enhance the efficiency of processes in the hospital.

• Intern

  Bluegrass Orthopaedics

  (Partnership; 51-200 employees; Medical Practice industry)

  September 2005 — January 2006 (5 months)

  BGO is a group orthopaedic practice with 8 physicians, 4 physician assistants, and 5 in-house physical therapists. Along with physical therapy services, BGO offers MRI and X-ray services and has its own ambulatory surgery center.
  
  I observed and learned almost all administrative and clerical aspects of the practice. I also designed and administered surveys for both internal and external feedback.
