NSU Horizons Spring 2013

Guy Harvey is a renaissance man—he can do it all. For more than 20 years, Harvey has grown his brand into one of the most recognizable in the industry, created countless works of art, completed important studies on game fish, started several foundations, been an ardent NSU supporter, written books, filmed documentaries, raised his family, and still found time to go fishing. “I work hard. It’s as simple as that,” said Harvey. Harvey’s drive is not just about selling his products or building the Guy Harvey brand. He is all about giving back to the marine resource. Harvey grew up in Jamaica and quickly developed a love of anything related to the ocean. He studied marine biology and earned a doctoral degree in fisheries management. His career as a wildlife artist began in 1985 when he depicted Ernest Heming- way’s The Old Man and the Sea through a series of 44 original pen-and-ink drawings. The Guy Harvey brand is now one of the largest and most recognized in the fishing world. Harvey’s art is in galleries, homes, and boats around the world.
