As the chairman of Harvest International, Inc., Harvey Goldstein has worked to help the company thrive for nearly three decades. Prior to this role, Harvey Goldstein served as a director for Resources Management International, Inc., a technology management and training firm based in Indonesia that offers its services to developing Southeast Asian countries. Before beginning his admirable career in business, Harvey Goldstein worked in scientific research and engineering and developed a testing facility for NASA's Nimbus satellites. 

The Nimbus program launched in 1964 as a means to monitor and observe weather and atmospheric conditions around the clock. The satellites were equipped with microwave and infrared radiometers, Coastal Zone Color Scanners, and ozone mappers to provide global data on the Earth's ice and sea coverage and atmospheric chemistry, temperatures, and radiation levels. The series of satellites included Nimbus 1, Nimbus B, and Nimbus models 4 through 7 weather satellites with objectives like monitoring pollutants, measuring water vapor, analyzing the ozone layer, and aiding in weather analysis. Nimbus satellites are no longer in use, but the satellites paved the way for the modern technology used to collect data on weather patterns and atmospheric conditions.

In his capacity as president of Harvest International, Harvey Goldstein has overseen the provision of advisory services to companies and foreign investors interested in doing business in Indonesia. His business and advisory efforts have extended beyond Indonesia to Southeast Asia, more broadly speaking. Harvey Goldstein chairs the Southeast Asia Advisory Board of Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Talented Youth (CTY). In 2013, he and his wife established a scholarship fund that has enabled students from Singapore to attend CTY programs.

In the late 1970s, the CTY was established. The organization nurtures the talents of younger people through various programs, and by providing them with various services and resources. Leading visionaries, such as the creator of Facebook and a co-founder of Google, were CTY students.

Another CTY student, Megan Sims, wrote a regular column in the Dallas Morning News, a paper with a readership of over 250,000, while still a sophomore in high school. The response to her bimonthly column was positive.

Milad Pooran, another former student of CTY, who was enrolled in the advanced math program, has gone on to give exemplary service as a combat medic with the National Guard. An immigrant from Iran, he is a seasoned physician who has also had the opportunity to conduct research on HIV at the National Institutes of Health.
