Cleveland Native Justin Harvey has worn many hats, often simultaneously, while building his career in the Arts and Entertainment industries. Once a popular voice in the local music scene, Justin studied audio engineering at Full Sail in Orlando, FL before relocating to Los Angeles, where he worked for several years at the world famous NRG Recording Services before opening up a studio of his own.

Justin started his reality career working audio for Pilgrim Films on shows like Dirty Jobs, American Hotrod, Only In America (with Larry The Cable Guy), The Ultimate Fighter, and more.

Decades later, Justin's resume reflects a busy and diversified list of accomplishments as producer, sound department head, and director of wildly popular reality-based programming such as Most Expensive (with 2Chainz), Food Paradise, Chef Wanted (with Anne Burrell), Best Bite Wins, Life of Fire (with Pat Martin), Little People Big World, Restaurant Rivals (with Robert Irvine and Jon Taffer), and Gear Dogs.
