HAROLD MCKOY, after working on Wall Street for 7 years, and banking and finance for another 9, went on to become a successful record producer (Wendy Williams’ theme song is his, among others). Ricocheting between creative pursuits and fiduciary activities, McKoy then created a business that specializes in raising capital for Real Estate projects. A multi-faceted, multi-talented, people-person, McKoy found an amalgam of both the financial and the creative in Glasser’s timeless classic comedies with content that entertains without violence, obscenity, nudity, crudity, car chases, or the ingestion of questionable substances. Harold believes in the importance of, and the enormous economic potential in Glasser’s work which demonstrates: finding true love may be the greatest trick of all, and has as its subtext: WE ARE ALL ONE.
