Brad Norris
Following many years of managing the company’s sales efforts, Brad assumed the role
of CEO for Norris, Inc. in October 2007. Always maintaining that honesty and integrity
are the only ways to do business, he has accumulated more than 25 years of success
using that approach and is widely respected having authored several articles in
national trade publications over the years. A graduate of the University of Southern
Maine in 1978 with a Bachelors degree in Business Administration, he immediately
went into the restaurant business owning and managing the popular and successful
New England Kitchen. Brad then joined his brother and founder of Norris, Inc., Harty
Norris in 1983 and shortly after became a co-owner with him. Brad has designed and
sold a wide array of systems and was instrumental in expanding the technologies
that Norris, Inc. offers while developing strong relationships with high profile
customers like LL Bean, USM, and Pratt & Whitney just to name a few. He is a former
President of the Maine Burglar and Fire Alarm Assoc. and remains very active in
many other industry trade associations. When not at work, Brad can often be found
on the slopes of Sugarloaf Mountain in the winter or in Portland Harbor during the
summer, chasing stripers or just cruising Casco Bay.
