Harry Goode was born in New York City in 1909. He received his [[Bachelor of Arts|B.A.]] in history from [[New York University]] in 1931, when the country was in the depths of the Depression. While studying [[chemical engineering]] at [[Cooper Union]], Goode earned his living playing the [[clarinet]] and [[saxophone]] in New York [[jazz band]]s.<ref>Isaac L. Auerbach, ''Harry. H.

In 1941 Goode started working as a [[statistician]] for the New York City Department of Health. From 1946 to 1949 Goode worked for the U.S. Navy in Sands Point, Long Island, where he became head of the Special Projects Branch. Here he contributed to flight control simulation training, aircraft instrumentation, antisubmarine warfare, weapons systems design, and computer research and initiated computerbased simulation projects.

In the 1950s Goode became professor at the [[University of Michigan]]. Until his death in 1960 he was president of the National Joint Computer Committee (NJCC).
