Meet Darren Norris: SORD International
September 22, 2009
Tomorrow, I’ll be introducing Darren when he speaks to the Rotary Club of Lake Murray/Irmo . When Darren visited the club with me last week, a member said “I thought he was your bodyguard”. Well, I wouldn’t mind that and he definitely would be more than qualified!
I first met Darren roughly 20 years ago when we both were at USC and both would visit the Elbow Room . Well, him working…me visiting. He was always the “gentle giant” and had a business sense about him that few knew. After college, I lost track of him until a few years back, when our paths crossed again. I was very impressed with what he’s done since school.
It’s always good to hear of success stories in our state. Even more so when they come from right here in our community!
