Norm Zareski

Norm was born in Appalachia, in the coal mine country of Eastern Pennsylvania. After graduating from the University of Connecticut with a degree in Electrical Engineering, he went on to pursue his graduate degree in Computer Engineering from UCLA. He spent most of his working adult life in the high-tech business primarily revolving around large, complicated scientifically oriented computer systems. In the intervening years Norm traveled with his wife Susan vastly. They’ve enjoyed and appreciated the opportunity to travel and have been to over 70 countries. Now in retirement, he’s checking off the list of things that he wanted to do but was unable to in his younger days. He continues to travel, immerses himself in digital photography and learning Photoshop, and even started taking blues guitar lessons since two years ago. Location: Palos Verdes Estates, CA. Norm’s message for the world: “If you don’t have something to worry about, don’t worry. Don’t get upset and lose nervous energy over something in which you have no control. Do your best. The sign of maturity is how you deal with adversity when things happen in which you have no control over.”
