"Okay...where can I plug this in?"
~ Harrison G. Donihue

Harrison Garrett Donihue (Harry) was born on January 20, 1991.  He was overdue by about 3 weeks and his parents were growing impatient with their first born.  It was a stressful time back then.  Dan was in a new job, money was very tight, and there was a lot of nervousness about being new parents.  And yet when Harrison was born, it was like the world just became a better place for the Donihue family.

Harrison has a keen intellect.  From a young age, he's always been curious about how the world works.  He's a very dedicated entrepreneur.  He's always had a fascination with working for himself and controlling his own future.  He began his first business at age six with his dad's help.  The local paper even did a story about him.  That's how Harry bought his first pair of rollerblades.

Since then, Harry has owned several businesses, including "Donihue Pooper Scooper" - a business in which Harry would clean up dog waste for neighbors at the rate of 1$ per dog per week.  At it's peak, Harry had 20 clients and ran a very organized and professional business.  His slogan was "it may be dog waste to you, but it's my bread and butter."

Harry is very athletic.  He's a red belt in Tae Kwon Doe and helps to teach one class per week.  He also plays soccer and excels in every position.  He enjoys all sorts of outdoor activities.

Harrison has a great deal of musical talent as well.  He plays drums and percussion for his school band, plays keyboards very well, and he also sings wonderfully.  He has a very good ear and can learn songs very easily just by listening to them.

Harry also has a very natural talent with anything electronic.  Computers, video games, stereos, etc.  If it has power, he can not only operate it, but he'll eventually figure out how it works too.  Lately, he's been learning computer programming.  He's even designed his own Starcraft games.

Harry is a very thoughtful person.  He cares about others, and he cares about animals.  He has many friends and even his friends' parents love him.  He's disappointed when he sees the negative come out in some people.  He has a very positive outlook on life, and knows that it will give back what he puts into it.
