Meet the team.
Mike Allegre
Mike began his
sportscasting career while at Central Washington University
(1980-83) following an honorable discharge from the Air
Force. He has since called hundreds of high school and
college ball games and has been honored for his work by the
Associated Press and Salem Sports & Breakfast Club.
Mike initiated radio coverage
of Willamette University Bearcat men's basketball games in
1991. The "Voice of the
Bearcats," Mike's also been calling WU basketball since
2000. A State 3A Girl's Basketball Tournament announcer
(1985-94) for many Oregon stations, Mike was the lead
announcer for the first four NAIA Women's Division II
basketball tourneys. He co-founded Salem's first college
radio station, KWBX (FM 90.3), which began operation in 2002
at Corban College (formerly Western Baptist).
"I've been doing play-by-play since I was a kid--calling games while watching TV and talking into pretend-microphones. I love broadcasting ballgames with friends and covering games that are out of town so fans who can't attend can "watch it" with me on the radio or Internet. God's given me the gift of gab, so I'm doing as He asks and using my gift."
A seasonal sportscaster and former volunteer youth sports coach, Mike works for the Oregon Department of Veterans' Affairs as a public affairs specialist. Major Allegre retired from the Oregon Air National Guard in January 2007 after proudly serving 21 years as a public affairs officer (25 years total military service). Between them, he and wife Suzanne have five children.
Mark Gilman
Mark
has been a sportscaster since 1986, announcing games on
radio, television, and the Internet for a variety of sports
at the Little League, High School, and College levels. His
on-air experience includes a total of 15 Oregon High School
Athletic Championship contests. Mark has been honored for
his broadcasting work by the Associated Press, the Salem
(Oregon) Sports and Breakfast Club, and the Oregon Athletic
Coaches Association.
A long time English and Public Speaking teacher at the high
school level, Mark spent nearly a decade as a full time
broadcaster. He won numerous awards as a radio news reporter
in the Salem metropolitan area before becoming a full time
educator in 1990. However, Mark still enjoys staying active
as a sports announcer.
"My sports announcing experience goes all the
way back to my high school days, so I can hardly envision my
life without it," says Mark. "It’s both a pleasure and an honor to be
able to describe the action of an exciting sports event with
listeners. Full Access Sports is a great way to share with
even more people who love sports action.”
Mark and his wife, Theresa, and their three daughters are
long time members of the Salem community, and enjoy a long
list of sports as participants and spectators. Mark also is
an enthusiastic, but part time hiker who loves to explore
the mountains of Oregon.
Mark Malinowski
Mark
is a broadcast veteran of more than 25 years. Credits
on his resume include broadcasting high school, college, and
pro baseball, basketball and
football play by play.
The Oregon Association of
Broadcasters selected Mark to do state tournament feeds for
12 years and he was selected as radio sportscaster of the
year in 1999 and 2002.
Currently Mark owns a Gold's
Gym franchise in Bend where he and his family have lived for
over 35 years.
In his spare time he coaches
7th and 8th grade football and as a member of the Oregon
slow-pitch softball Hall of Fame continues to play more than
75 games each summer.
Still married to the same
woman for almost 40 years, Mark has two great sons, a swell
daughter-in-law, and two wonderful grand kids.
"I love doing high school sports, because you never know
what's going to
happen and the kids give you 150% all the time."
Craig Spivey
Craig is a
veteran of more than 20 years of broadcasting. He received
his broadcasting degree from Oregon State University in
1981, and has worked in radio and print journalism.
Craig has had the opportunity to broadcast championship
games at the international, national, and state level for
youth, high school, and collegiate teams.
For the past nine years, Craig has served as the color
commentator for Willamette University football, and
has been one of the main play-by-play announcers on network
coverage of the
Little League Softball World Series.
In addition to his broadcast duties, Craig serves as the
public information officer for the Oregon Employment
Department. He and his wife Elisa have four children and
enjoy camping and activities with their church.
“I have been blessed to have the best seat in the house for
exciting sporting events, and I look forward to the
opportunities for expanded coverage through Full Access
Sports. I welcome our listeners to come along for the ride.”
