He was first employed as an entry level Paint and Auto Body Mechanic and has since worked his way up and now serves as a Heavy Equipment Mobile Mechanic based out of the county's Key West Lower Keys garage. Every day Norman saves the county dollars and minimizes equipment downtime as most of the work he does is on large county trucks and heavy equipment that would otherwise have to be transported to and from service centers located and spread out all over mainland South Florida. Norman is not just a mechanic; he's a painter, welder, steel fabricator, and truck driver, as well as a parts, service, computer and electronics technician, all required in order to service, repair and document work performed on vehicles and equipment that are utilized daily by the county and other agencies. Norman has much desire to master new technologies that are changing every day. He has been known to take home repair manuals, compact discs and other items in order to read, study and overcome a challenge which results in the Fleet Department being more efficient and more cost effective. Norman is highly skilled, is most dependable and has been complimented by just about every County department and agency that utilizes Fleet's services. Because of his consistent performance and dedication, we are very pleased to recognize him today as Monroe County's Employee of the Year for 2011 and also for attaining 20 years of outstanding service to Monroe County.
