Foundation work is bought on trust, and trust attaches to people rather than to a company name. These are the people accountable for what we build and for what we publish here.
Known as "Stormin Norman," Norman is a Texas entrepreneur who grew a foundation pier business into a multi-million-dollar operation. His reputation in the industry rests on his word being good, and the company's culture of faith, resilience and integrity comes from him.
Bill is the driving force behind the company's recent decade of growth. His helical pier expertise is practical rather than theoretical, rooted in field work: as the company puts it, he is a man in the trenches, or more accurately, in the holes. He is the technical reviewer of record for content on this site.
