Bravo's Daily Dish asked Captain Lee Rosbach and then-chief stew, Kate Chastain, who has since said goodbye to Below Deck herself, if they were still in touch with Lucas during his time away. Captain Lee revealed Lucas was working in the tugboat industry, with his LinkedIn page confirming that he was working for Moran Towing Corporation. According to their website, the Baltimore-based company specializes in towing, marine transportation, and docking, among many other maritime services.
As per several posts on Instagram, Lucas also explored Vietnam and enjoyed a snowboarding trip with friends in Vermont. He confirmed he was working on tugboats judging by a post from May 2019. His profile on Bravo advised that, since season 3, Lucas has earned his 1600-ton license and has learned "the importance of diligence and delegation in the commercial industry" while working as First Mate onboard a four-man tugboat crew.
