NORMAN

a.k.a. The Instigator

Big Whiskey Big Velvet Big Worm

A follower of Jesus Christ first and foremost, Norman was born and raised in the great state of Alabama — Pell City, to be exact. He's a husband, father, sports fanatic, golfer, outdoorsman, and the unofficial Instigator of the 15 Friends Podcast.

If everybody agrees on something, Norman considers it his responsibility to figure out why they might all be wrong.

SPORTS

black sheep golf

He loves football, but golf has a way of pulling him back in — even after a round that leaves him questioning his life choices. That passion led to Black Sheep Golf, a community and brand built on the idea that golfers don't have to fit the traditional mold to love the game. Whether he's playing, searching for a lost ball, or explaining why that last shot definitely should have gone farther, he brings the same energy to the course that he brings to every debate: confident, opinionated, and occasionally difficult to defend.

THE OUTDOORS

anything for a good story

Football remains a major part of his sports world. Over the years he's also hunted, fished, and tried just about anything outdoors that provides a good story afterward.

FAMILY FIRST

the most important role

Away from the microphone, Norman's most important role is family. He's a proud husband and dad — including the proud father of twins and a son with Down syndrome. His family is passionate about advocating for the Down syndrome community and reminding people that every child and adult deserves the opportunity to live a full, valued, celebrated life. His faith keeps him grounded — even when his podcast opinions don't.

ON THE SHOW

somebody has to keep it interesting

Usually found asking the question nobody else was going to ask, challenging an opinion that was perfectly fine five minutes ago, defending something he may or may not actually believe, and occasionally starting an argument just to see where it goes.
