Meet Norman
After spending his early life in Columbus, OH Norman graduated from Vanderbilt University with a B.A. in mathematics. Beginning in Boston, where he wrote and maintained legal billing and finance systems in the banking and oil industries marked the beginning of a prestigious career. An expert software writer, Norman created – from scratch – Accounting, Payroll, and Warehouse management systems for companies in the Miami area, while also singing in a barbershop quartet which competed in the Florida statewide Barbershop Competition.

While employed with Bank of America and its predecessors, Norman wrote the Intercompany Loan System (which received a US patent), the Rollover Monitoring fraud detection system, and spent ten years as the Application/Information Architect, overseeing the roughly 150 applications which Bank of America relied on.

When he’s not busy innovating, Norman enjoys spending time with his wife and three sons, playing piano, singing in the synagogue choir, and maintaining his fitness at the local gym.
