Hello! My name is Norman Sanderson, and my wife Linda and I look forward to meeting you if we've not previously met! I grew up on a small family farm in Columbus County, NC. My dad had me out in the fields working at five years old! My six siblings and I learned the value of a strong work ethic raising tobacco and hogs. I had my first official job at the age of 17 driving our tobacco truck from the warehouse to the packing facility. I graduated from West Columbus High School and attended North Carolina State University, focusing on Agricultural Education. I later went back to college as an adult and earned a BA in Christian Education from Logos Christian College & Graduate Schools. The Lord Jesus is the foundation of my life, and I depend on His wisdom to guide me daily.
From my work on the farm to running a dredge on the creeks around Pamlico County, from my work as a law enforcement officer and drug enforcement agent for the Pamlico County Sherriff's Office to becoming the principal of a Christian school after earning a Christian Education degree and then owning a successful childcare facility in Havelock, NC that positively impacted the lives of children and families for over 20 years, the Lord has blessed me with a breadth of experience that has served me well in the NC Senate for the past twelve years.
