He was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, the son of Lahe Katzman, and was educated in Saskatoon and at the University of Saskatchewan, where he studied agriculture. In 1970, Katzman married Lucille Jean Martler. He served as government whip in the provincial assembly[1] and was also legislative secretary for the ministers of agriculture and highways. In 2000, Katzman was found guilty of fraud for diverting $450,000 from the Conservative caucus bank account to a private bank account; this was related to a political scandal involving Saskatchewan Progressive Conservatives during the 1980s.[2] He was sentenced to one year in jail and ordered to repay over $100,000.[3]
