Young people hunger for creative professionalism. They see opportunities for change and inspirations of aesthetic beauty, but are not prepared to actualize these visions. The rising stars of the Western world’s institutions will never rise without a guide—without the opportunity to learn by doing.
The Museion Fellowship provides mentorship and networking for students or young professionals who wish to participate in the rebuilding of our institutions and effect a positive influence on our culture. At Beck&Stone, they will have the opportunity to meet some of the most successful and influential cultural figures in the country. They’ll execute new strategies, manage projects, brainstorm ideas, and learn how the sausage is made in an effective remote workplace. Perhaps most importantly, they’ll be part of Beck&Stone’s company culture and share in the team’s camaraderie—building relationships that will last throughout their professional career.

His professional experience spans both the public and private sectors, including serving as a government affairs manager at a Georgia bank and producing media content for political organizations and commentators. David is driven by a desire to rebuild the institutions that once made American life strong, bringing a results-focused mindset to everything from grassroots organizing to high-level strategic planning. Outside of work, he enjoys playing guitar, reading history, and testing the limits of friendship through theology debates.
Luca H. Cacciatore is a native of the Delaware Valley, formed by the same waters that General Washington crossed during our nation’s struggle for independence. It was that background that motivated Luca’s initial journey into politics. At 15, he volunteered to help local and statewide Republicans sail to victory in the 2016 election. His brief time at Penn State University, interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, prepared him to change and adapt quickly. Luca was selected to be an inaugural American Moment fellow in 2021. He has previously worked as a writer for Newsmax, covering top national news stories, and as a journalist for Texas Scorecard, where he reported on the Legislature and corruption surrounding the state’s lottery. Luca is a devout Christian and has delivered guest sermons on several occasions at his former church in Virginia. He enjoys football, hardcore music, and good beer.
