He was a writer, photographer and designer, and became the managing editor of The Triangle and photo editor of Log.
He said he was inspired to teach journalism by Kim Green, the North publications teacher and Lovins’ adviser, who “made her job as a journalism instructor seem like the best job in the world.” Lovins added that he hopes to learn along with his future students to write the best stories possible.
