This short-term call allowed him to serve in three special churches: St. Paul International Lutheran Church, Shiniku Lutheran Church, and Lutheran Church for Teachers. He completed his educational studies in November of 1990, and was ordained on February 17, 1991.
Pastor Norm was married to Laura Fogt May 27, 1989. God blessed this couple with four blessings: Elisabeth, Jonathan, Adrianna and Sophia.

In the summer of 1995, the family traveled to northeast Nebraska to join the family of Immanuel Lutheran. In 2003 Pastor Norm, Laura and their family received a call to Our Savior Lutheran Church in Three Rivers, Texas, where they presently reside and serve.
