Bio

Luke Tracy enters his first year as Director of Athletic Communications at Franklin Pierce University in 2023.

No stranger to the university, Tracy returns to Rindge four years after graduating from FPU. During his college years, he first worked in athletics as a photographer, building his way up to a Head of Sports Photography title for the department. Away from the campus, he covered several events including the 2016 “First In The Nation Primary” in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, the 2016 Presidential Inauguration in Washington D.C. and also worked with fellow alum Jason Potterton of ESPN to photograph a Bellator MMA event in Connecticut. All three events lead to several publications featured in both the Boston Herald and ESPN.com.

During his sophomore year summer Tracy interned at NBC Boston on the assignment desk. The following summer he worked as a white-water rafting photographer in Alaska’s Denali National Park.

In his senior year at Franklin Pierce, Tracy was the male-chair for the school's Student-Athlete Advisory committee, captain of the men’s lacrosse team, and received the Marlin Fitzwater Center Medallion. Tracy crossed the stage in the spring of 2019 receiving two degrees, one in Journalism and another in Environmental Studies. In the months that followed his departure from Pierce, Tracy worked as an Interpretive Park Ranger at Acadia National Park in Maine.

Shortly after, in the spring of 2020, he was hired as a TV news producer at WGME in Portland, Maine, where he learned the ins-and-outs of the industry, covering events ranging from the Coronavirus Pandemic to the 2020 Presidential Election.

After a year in the Pine Tree State, Tracy returned to New Hampshire, hired in a news producer at WMUR. There he continued to cover local news for two years and even took part in New Hampshire Chronicle’s first ever live broadcast highlighting the 2023 Boston Marathon.
