A Word from Andrew McLemore

The written word always called to me. After many years in journalism, writing about the outdoors for Lola Digital Media is a dream made real.

When I became editor of my college’s student newspaper, I ran a staff of 40+ people and stayed up until 1 a.m. four days a week. I loved it, and I’ve never looked back.

My personal interests include music, travel, books, adventure, and my dog.
