Penulis: Mike Lauterborn

Mike Lauterborn, a longtime resident of Fairfield, CT, has been the Editor, Writer and Photographer for Fairfield Hamlet Hub online news service since 2011, serving Fairfield County, CT. He also serves as a freelance photographer and writer on a contract basis. As a lad, Mike was an inveterate journal writer and graduated from college with a BA in English Literature. Following graduation, for over 20 years, Mike worked in corporate America in various marketing, promotion and advertising leadership roles. In 2010, Mike transitioned to journalism and served as a feature writer, columnist and photographer for a number of regional magazines, newspapers and online news services before fully dedicating himself to his current Editor role. Mike has documented over four decades of American culture, including all of his past travels. This passion for writing runs in his blood — Lauterborn’s father and brother are both published authors. During his 66 days on the road, Lauterborn traveled some 16, 000 miles through 35 states, filling 23 notebooks with his observations and snapping more than 650 photographs to document the journey. While on the road he was interviewed by more than a dozen newspapers, two national magazines and an NBC-TV affiliate in Raleigh, N.C. This is his first book.
