Jay Norman

Personnel Policy Service, Inc.

I help people with the copyediting and proofreading they need to polish and refine their writing. I bring to the table 40+ years as an information publisher, writer, editor, and proofreader. 

During my years in the field, I founded, built, and sold a specialty publishing business, Personnel Policy Service, Inc., focusing on employment law compliance.  
. 
We developed and kept up-to-date a comprehensive 800-page manual (print and digital) of model human resources policies. Each of the 60+ policy models was meticulously annotated for management insights and rationale plus all the laws, regulations, and court cases impacting the policy. 

In addition, we had an 8-page monthly newsletter and a weekly ezine. 

We were the leading experts in the practical day-to-day impact of complicated employment laws like the ADA, FMLA, and FLSA. Our guiding focus was to provide simple explanations to business owners, HR professionals, and lawyers on timely and difficult issues such as harassment, discipline, leaves of absence, and working from home (even before the pandemic).   

Our subscribers ranged in size from small businesses to industry giants like Monsanto and Cisco. 

In building the business, I gained extensive publishing, editing, and proofreading knowledge and experience by actively participating in the Specialized Publishing Industry Association (SIPA) programs in Washington. I served on its Board of Directors for eight years.

More recently, I sold our publishing assets to BLR/Simplify Compliance and then took time off to enjoy travel and devote time to local volunteer interests. 

However, I quickly realized how much I missed the writing and publishing world, and I am now helping others perfect their writing skills. So, if you’re looking for an experienced copyeditor and proofreader, I’m ready to help!

OK – enough about me. Now, it’s your turn! Click on the blue “Connect” or “Message” button above under my picture or contact me directly at jay@ppsincmail.com.

My earlier career evolved from originations to Branch management and Area management, beginning with Ameriquest Mortgage ('97-'01) and transitioning to Washington Mutual ('01-'06).  Although our companies went through a series of mergers and acquisitions, I'm proud to have joined a team in 2006 that I still love being in the trenches with today, moving from First Horizon Home to MetLife and eventually landing at HomeStreet Bank in 2012.

Husband & Father | Mortgage Leader | Adventurer | Documentary Film Producer

I'm a collaborative, values-driven leader with 25+ years in real estate finance.  I've built high-performing teams, led through changing markets, and remain focused on creating meaningful impact for clients, partners, and the communities we serve.

Today, I serve as Vice President of Retail Sales at Legacy Capital Group, an innovative platform that combines traditional lending with private investment funds, real estate development, and construction financing.  It's a proven model in both up and down markets - and I'm proud to help share Legacy's value, expand our reach, and continue building our thriving team. 

I also serve as President of the Washington Mortgage Bankers Association and recent Chair of the Pacific Northwest Mortgage Lenders Conference, advancing advocacy and leadership across our industry.

Originally from Green Bay, I've called Seattle home since 1998. Outside of work, you'll find me in the outdoors, at a live music venue, or producing documentary films that explore themes of resilience, risk, and human connection.

If you're a loan officer, real estate professional, builder, or investor and want to learn more about Legacy's model - or explore how we can work together, let's connect.

Best,
