|WHO IS MIKE NORTON?
Mike Norton is an entrepreneurial US Navy veteran, author, physicist, and award-winning marketing strategist.
Mike started as a martial artist throughout early teen hood, becoming a New Jersey state champion in full-contact sparring while working as a professional chef.
Upon becoming 19 years old, he enlisted in the US Navy serving two deployments to the Middle East, both on land and at sea.
Throughout the process, he became a writer as a therapeutic means of self-reflectively overcoming psychological traumas.
After, he became a marketing strategist to learn how to turn his wide range of skills and experiences into family businesses.

What is Mike Norton’s deep, hidden superpower?
…The will the redeem himself before the eyes of his civilization.
You’d think that a person who has been through what Mike Norton has in life would become a serial killer, in prison, at best.
His father was a kingpin drug lord who was brutally murdered at gunpoint. His mother was a neglectful seductress who wanted more from life. And his step-father physically and mentally abused him in various ways: a religious, anti-white racist who hated Mike’s resemblance to his original father and interracial heritage.
Mike becomes a child who endures the stigma of homelessness, asthma, mutilation by flesh-eating bacteria, undetected tumors in his skull, and hospitalization for malnourishment. He also experiences draconian punishments, such as being locked in a closet until he loses his sense of time.
As a combination of all these factors combined, Mike develops narcissistic traits that hide his emotional vulnerabilities as he escapes into his imagination to shield himself from the harsh realities of his life.
Yet, somehow, he snaps out of it.
How?
This memoir is based on a true story and written as a form of self-reflective therapy, covering Mike Norton’s early life from birth to his early twenties. By reading about how Mike faces and takes accountability for his Jungian shadow in Fighting For Redemption, you may learn something about facing your own.
