Original Jamaican bobsledder who teaches people to KEEP ON PUSHING past the inevitable obstacles to
Born on Christmas Day, 1964 and raised in one of Kingston’s most violent ghetto, the greatest gift Devon Harris ever received was the belief that a positive attitude and a never say die philosophy would carry him farther than a sense of injustice and a heart filled with anger.
A graduate of the prestigious Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in England, Devon received a Queen’s Commission in December 1985 and retired from the officer corps of the Jamaica Defence Force in December 1992 as a Captain.
At the heart of Devon’s message are the lessons he has learned of the power of persistence over all sorts of obstacles in order to live one's best life. His mission is to bring this message of how everyone can keep on pushing and working for their dreams every day of their lives.
Devon was selected to the first Jamaican bobsled team which competed in the 1988 Olympic Games in Calgary, Canada. Their exploits inspired the Disney blockbuster Cool Runnings. Devon also competed in and was captain of the 1992 Winter Olympic Games in Albertville, France and the 1998 Games in Nagano, Japan.
The Keep On Pushing Foundation which he founded in 2006 aims to support and enhance the education of kids in disadvantaged communities around the globe by providing practical solutions to the challenges that are preventing them from getting educated.
Devon is also an athlete ambassador for Right to Play; an organization which uses sports and play in refugee camps around the world to enhance child development and build community capacity.
Devon has also devoted time to visit the troops in the Persian Gulf as he understands the commitment, sense of duty and sacrifices made by those who volunteer to serve.
He is the author of the motivational children’s book, Yes, I Can! and the semi-auto-biographical motivational book Keep On Pushing: Hot Lesson From Cool Runnings.
