Orville Harris, the first of four children for his parents, accepted Jesus as his Savior at the tender age of 10 while still residing in his native Jamaica. He came under the mentorship of godly leaders and received informal religious education at the Deliverance Full Gospel Church of God in Kingston, Jamaica.

He migrated to the U.S.A. where he is now a naturalized citizen. He continued his education at George Win-gate High School and Baruch College. He took a job with NYSKYRIDE in 1996 and worked through the ranks to become the company’s youngest black executive as Director of Operations. He helped to pilot the company through some of its hardest times by continually reinventing their image and strategy. Under his guidance in 2013, the company ranked in the top 5 attractions in New York City out of a possible 400.
