Deon was born and raised on the West side of Chicago. Like many of us, he grew up as a product of his environment and in his case, a life of drugs.

In December 2003 he was sentenced to 360 months in a Federal Correctional Facility for selling narcotics with the intent to distribute. It would prove to be the most challenging period of his life.

After 16 years of soul searching, he found power through his steadfast faith in God. He made the decision to walk in His will, and not his own.

In the three years following his release he has found the love of a spiritually-grounded and wonderful woman, Romanica.

Through his unwavering faith in God, resilience, strength and hardwork he found his purpose. That purpose is to develop and expand Progress Platform Publications to bring this message to life through the Progress Platform Prophesy, “we can all be more tomorrow than we are today, we each have the choice.” - Author Deon Harris
