Scott Norman is an Associate Professor of Automotive Technology at Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg, KS and President of the National Association of Automotive Universities.

He started his career as an automotive technician, like so many others, with an automotive technology associates degree, but his automotive career took a huge turn into the automotive corporate world.
