Robertson grew up in Monroe with his three siblings and parents Willie and Korie. John Luke attended Ouachita Christian High School where he was an active student, becoming president of his class twice, a member of the track team and tennis team, and when he was not in school, attended summer camps and went on mission trips.
In 2012, the life of the whole Robertson’s family was changed when the show “Duck Dynasty” began airing on the channel A&E. The show follows the lives of the Robertson family, and how their small business of duck calls turned into a million-dollar empire. To date, the show is rated the most watched non-fiction program on cable television, garnering 11.8 million viewers in their 2013 season premier and continuing with a similar audience.
The popularity of the show has definitely made the Robertson’s a household name, and increased their net worth as well. However, the television show is just a bonus, because their family business “Duck Commander” is making millions as well. The business was started by John Luke’s grandfather Phil, by making a small device that mimics the sounds of ducks, making it easier for duck hunters to get close to the birds. Korie, John Luke’s mother, helped expand the business from selling the duck calls, and they also now sell hunting apparel as well. Today Willie, John Luke’s father is the CEO of the company.
Apart from their own show, the family also appears in other television shows to promote their product and their own program. The family has also appeared to shows like “Conan”, “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”, “Today”, “Katie” and the “700 Club”, to name but a few.
With the popularity of their show, Robertson used it as a platform to reach a wider audience for his career as a children’s book author. Beginning in 2014, John Luke released a series of books inspired by his family entitled “Be Your Own Duck Commander”. The juvenile fiction set includes four books, “Willie’s Redneck Time Machine”, “Si in Space”, “Jase & the Deadliest Hunt”, and “Phil and the Ghost of Camp Ch-Yo-Ca”; the launch of the books show-cased his talent and increased his net worth as well.
Aside from being an author, one of Robertson’s sources of income is being a conference speaker, which he uses to talk about his family and their faith.
In terms of his personal life, Robertson married high school sweetheart Mary Kate McEacharn in 2015. In the eighth season of their family show, his high school graduation was featured as well as his wedding to Mary Kate. The two now attend Liberty University, a non-profit Christian university in Lynchburg, Virginia.
