Education and career

He graduated from the Trondhjems Handelsgymnasium school in 1917. Norvik was very active in politics. He chaired the local Conservative Party chapter several times (1925-1926, 1939-1940, 1948), as well as the regional chapter (1948-1952). He was also a member of the national Conservative Party board from 1950 to 1961.[2]

He began his career as a clerk for the Finnmark County Municipality in 1918. He later became a secretary for the county tax administration office in Finnmark from 1926-1935. Norvik was a member of Vadsø Municipality council from 1931 to 1936. After the occupation of Norway was ended there was no government in Finnmark county, so he was appointed to temporarily be the county governor from September to November 1945.[1] Shortly after that, he was appointed to the executive committee which ran Vadsø from 19471951. Norvik was head of the tax office in Finnmark from 1948-1962.[2]

He was elected to the Norwegian Parliament for the Conservative Party for the constituency of the "Market towns of Nordland, Troms and Finnmark" for the term from 1950-1953. In 1953, he was re-elected, but for the constituency of Finnmark county. He was reelected in 1957 to represent Finnmark. He was also member of the Supervisory Board of Norges Bank from 1957-1964.[2]
