He was born on November 21, 1943 in Spokane, Washington to Ivan and Marguerite Morfitt. Norm grew up in Spokane, WA and Baker, OR. He graduated from Lewis & Clark High School in 1962.

After starting his working career in construction at Dupree Building Specialties, he would venture out to own and operate numerous businesses, including Fryer Ford Building Specialties, Perm-A-Treat Wood Treating, Spokane Custom Wood Treating, and Renor Construction Services.
