Norman was born November 15, 1931 in Bradley, South Dakota the son of Tennie and Clara (Solberg) Lien. He married Margaret Ann Roseth of Butler, South Dakota on August 27, 1952 while Norm was at Fort Benning Jump School in Columbus, Georgia. He spent most of his 9 years of military service at Fort Campbell, Kentucky in the 101st Airborne Division. Stationed 16 months in Korea during the war. After the army, he moved his family to Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin to be close to Margaret's mother, Nellie Holler.

Norman worked at Borg Fabric plant and Reid Studebaker garage in Jefferson, then went to GMC plant in Janesville. In January 1962 he became self-employed when he started Wisconsin Pest Control, and in 1972 moved to Wisc. Dells when Chuck Thompson convinced Norman because the business was growing so fast in the Dells. His youngest son, Jeff worked with Norman after he finished high school and continued to develop the business until it was sold in 2022 after 60 years. Upon moving to the Dells, he had a large colonial home built for his family and later had a smaller house built when the children grew up.
