My background includes manufacturing, high school teaching, an adjunct professor, and educational  administration. When I retired from the education profession, I formed the Norhals Group, offering  business seminars and ergonomic sales and authoring a few books. I wrote financial and educational  articles for a Western Massachusetts newspaper.  

​

Born in Springfield, MA, into a life filled with love, hard work, and appreciation for family and  friends. My parents came to America from Norway in 1900. With my wife of fifty-three years and my son's  support, I can be creative and productive. Family relatives were involved in tool manufacturing. After a  period in manufacturing, I entered the teaching chapter of my career. Teacher and administrator for thirty five years.  

​

Norhals Group provided ergonomic equipment for designers, offices, and manufacturers. Design creative products that bring a working knowledge of human issues and ergonomic principles in a user-friendly  manner. We aim to provide innovative ergonomic consulting to ensure the best fit between the worker and  the machine.

Staying active and engaged is essential to maintain good health and have a fulfilling life. I love learning new things - enough time to read books. Writing is an activity that keeps you busy and is a unique and  mindful experience that helps you stay engaged. When I’m writing, I’m always doing research for a book. There is always a book in your thoughts. That’s what started me to write.
