Norm Fernandez – Freelance Writer

Norm is a freelance writer specializing in blogs, articles, and marketing. He is one of the rare “born and raised” Floridians. Living in the Sunshine State for his entire life, he has experienced many of the great things Florida has to offer. Some of Norm’s favorite “Floridian” things include Walt Disney World (and all the touristy things the Orlando area has to offer), Kennedy Space Center, local breweries, and beaches.
