Norm Lanier is the CEO of Lone Star Art, a successful sign manufacturer and seller based in Texas. After getting his degree in photography and starting his creative career, he worked his way up to become a Senior Graphic Designer for companies like Exxon, Compaq and HP. On his 50th birthday, he walked away from corporate life to fulfill his lifelong dream of working and creating art for himself. Today he has a team that helps him create products in-house with the singular vision of bringing beautiful art into people's homes. Lone Star Art is now a 6-figure company that recognizes its responsibility to do good in the world as they grow, and every month they donate to different organizations.
