==Early life==
Rick Harrison was born on March 22, 1965〔Harrison, Rick (2011). ''License to Pawn: Deals, Steals, and My Life at the Gold & Silver ''. Hyperion. 2011. New York. ISBN 978-1-4013-2430-8〕〔("How Rich is Rick Harrison?" ). HowRich. December 2, 2012〕 in Lexington, North Carolina,〔Harrison, Rick (2011). ''License to Pawn: Deals, Steals, and My Life at the Gold & Silver ''. Hyperion. 2011. New York. ISBN 978-1-4013-2430-8〕 the third child of Richard Benjamin Harrison, Jr. a U.S. Navy veteran, and Joanne Rhue Harrison.〔("Pawn Stars’ Richard "Old Man" Harrison Celebrates 70th Birthday" ). VegasNews.com. March 4, 2011〕 Harrison is the younger brother of Sherry Joanne Harrison (died aged six, with down syndrome), and Joseph Kent Harrison, and the older brother of Christopher K. Harrison.〔Harrison, Rick (2011). ''License to Pawn: Deals, Steals, and My Life at the Gold & Silver ''. Hyperion. 2011. New York. ISBN 978-1-4013-2430-8〕 Rick Harrison's son, Corey Harrison, has mentioned that his grandfather stated that they are related to President William Henry Harrison. Harrison has indicated that he does not give much credence to this idea, though Harrison's father has stated that they are distantly related to Benjamin Harrison, the grandson of William Henry Harrison.
In 1967, Harrison's father was transferred to San Diego, California, and the family relocated with him. As a child, Harrison suffered from epileptic seizures starting at age eight, which would confine him to bed, and led to a lifelong love of reading. He became particularly enamored of a series of books by John D. Fitzgerald called ''The Great Brain'', whose main character, a ten-year-old Utah con artist named Tom D. Fitzgerald with the ability to conjure up money-making schemes, greatly influenced Harrison.〔Harrison, 2011. pp 7–9.〕 Harrison also developed a love of books in general, in particular on physics〔 and history, with his favorite area of historical study being the British Navy, from the late 1700s to the early 1800s.〔("Ask the Pawn Stars" ). (Pawn Stars on History ). Facebook. August 28, 2012. Retrieved September 3, 2012.〕 Harrison attended Taft Middle School, which is part of the San Diego Unified School District, but dropped out during tenth grade.〔
The Harrison family relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada, in April 1981 after the collapse of his parents' real estate business. When Harrison was 17, his girlfriend Kim became pregnant. Despite a subsequent miscarriage, the couple decided to marry. Two months after their wedding, Kim was pregnant again and their first child, Corey Harrison, was born on April 27, 1983. Within two years, their second child, Adam, was born. Harrison worked for his father in the Gold & Silver Coin Shop, and even worked repossessing cars. Soon after Adam's birth, Harrison and Kim separated, with Harrison and his second wife, Tracy, assuming the responsibility of raising his sons.〔
