Presenter Biography
Mike Lowe spent 40 years as a sportswriter for the Portland Press Herald (1982–2022). His broad career spanned local high school sports, UMaine’s first NCAA hockey title, the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and 20 years covering the New England Patriots across seven Super Bowls. Beyond the scoreboard, Mike tackled critical issues like athlete mental health, youth sports costs, and inspiring community features. A four-time Maine Sports Writer of the Year and MPA Hall of Fame inductee, Mike’s guiding principle was simple: “Strived to do my best to tell their stories, because they were, always, their stories, not mine.” Today, he lives in Saco with his wife, Tracie, and writes for Bridgton Living magazine.
