Dr. Norman P. Johnson splits his home between Lake Stevens, Washington and Hawaii. He is divorced, retired, and has two grown daughters. Some of his many former lives include working under the Atomic Energy Commission performing high-energy particle experiments at Argonne National Laboratory. He later became one of the "Higgs Hunters" at the short-lived Superconducting Super Collider, including an in-between stint with NASA, launching science satellites and developing large-scale upper-atmospheric computer simulations that became the basis for all computer weather forecasting today. During the '70s, he spent time touring with major rock bands, gets involved with shady Rock & Roll intrigue, witnesses the backstory on one of Rock's greatest songs, and with Fanfare Productions, designs and builds a new speaker system that delivered the loudest, clearest PA in the industry. He escapes the Nixon oppression by moving to Crested Butte, Colorado, where he designs and builds the first satellite cable TV systems in the Rockies. Dr. Johnson later helped design, deploy, and manage large-scale cellular and satellite digital telecommunications systems worldwide for companies such as Cablevision, Aramco, MCI, and Qualcomm. After the internet crash of 1998, he found himself unemployed and started Accel Net, a high-speed wireless internet provider in Seattle, which he grew into a multi-million-dollar business. He enjoys movies and has spent thousands of hours in obscure projection booths showing vintage 35 and 16mm films. He has penned several books and screenplays, with more written works in progress. In his off hours, he makes and sells a traditional craft Hash, Yeti Scat Trails, enjoys the fruit of his labors, fishes for the wily salmon, skis the flats, restores old things, and hangs with animals and other friends at Norm's Rancho Deluxe. Wa-ha-ho-te'!
