After Maynardville High School, Harvey worked at Alcoa Company before attending Ford Motor Engineering school in Michigan from 1943 until he was drafted into the U.S. Navy, where he served on the USS Density, a mine sweeper in the Pacific Theater during WWII. After the Navy, Harvey returned to Alcoa Company until 1950, when he began working at Y-12 Oak Ridge, where he worked until his retirement in 1985.
