Kim Passante has known Norm Beaudin since he first moved to Arizona. She is a lifelong sports enthusiast, who grew up in a family of motorsports drivers. It was a natural fit for her to dive into Norm’s world of hockey and pen his inspiring story. Over the years, she has written everything from poetry to marketing literature to legal case preparation. Kim, who homeschooled her daughter until she started college, resides with her family in beautiful, sunny Scottsdale, Arizona.
