Profile
Teaching for Norman started as a hobby in 2013 and turned into a career. Norman maintains a private practice which he balances with his teaching load and amateur stint as a middle school basketball coach. Norman's home is a never ending project, which directly influences his understanding of what it means to dwell. Embracing uncertainty has brought him great experiences, both personally and professionally. Norman brings that experience into the classroom and teaches from a place of passion and compassion.
