Lowary was born in 1966[1] in Illinois. While attending Columbus High School, Lowary participated in band and was chosen to represent Montana in the 1983 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.[2] Following graduation, Lowary chose to attend the University of Montana where he majored in chemistry.[3] Prior to the 1985–86 academic year, Lowary was one of seven University of Montana students awarded the Fox Foundation Scholarship to continue his studies.[4] The following year, he received the 1986–87 University of Montana Honors Program scholarship.[5]
After Lowary graduated with his Bachelor of Science degree in 1988, Lowary remained at the University of Montana working in their wood chemistry lab before applying to graduate school.[3] He eventually completed his PhD in organic chemistry at the University of Alberta and finished his postdoctoral research with David R. Bundle and Morten P. Meldal.[6]
