Life Scout under the leadership of his dad. At the age of 12, Harvey
began his first stint as an entrepreneur as a paper boy. He delivered

Spirits located in the City of Newburgh. Harvey was one of the original
members of the Gigolo Motorcycle Club and as one person described him,
he was always a trendsetter, well known for his flashy cars and
