Another week, another interview with someone at HomeSav. This week we have a sneak peek into the mind of HomeSav co-founder Alex Norman. We were lucky to squeeze in this interview with Alex a.k.a multitasker extraordinaire because it is rare to see him in the same spot for more than 5 minutes! With a family, a house renovation and a fresh company on the go, Alex manages to see the humour in life and is always able to lighten the mood! If you have any other questions you would like to know about Alex or anyone else interviewed here at HomeSav, please leave your question in the comment area!
