Glenn Jordan joined the Portland Press Herald in 1994 to cover the fledgling Portland Sea Dogs. A native of Vermont, he studied philosophy in college and worked at two newspapers in New Hampshire and one in Connecticut before moving to Maine. He spent his first two years of marriage living in the keepers quarters of the Portland Head Light and has three grown children. In addition to baseball, he has covered nearly every sport played in Maine, from biathlon and curling to running and sailing. Currently he works part-time and can be found near cross country trails in fall, swimming pools and ski slopes in winter and tennis courts in spring. All other times, he’s probably on a pickleball court. He is a two-time USA Pickleball national medalist (silver and gold) and played for both the Austin Ignite and Indianapolis Drivers in 2023, helping Indy win the inaugural National Pickleball League championship over Austin in a league for senior pros aged 50 and over.
