  • Work With Jonathan

Raised in Fort Washington, Maryland, Jonathan C. Harris is no stranger to leadership, hard work, or success.  At the age of ten years old, he earned the right to be a guest weatherman for a day on Fox 5 DC News.  He has already received over 100 honors and awards including Forty Under 40 for Prince George’s County, MD, TEDx Talk speaker, TEDxFortWashington Founder, American College Personnel Association (ACPA) Outstanding Men’s Program, high school Valedictorian and the Kiwanis Club Citizenship Award. One rainy day and a flat tire later, Jonathan’s life would change forever when car troubles inspired him to write a book.  In March 2016, Jonathan published his debut book, “Master of Ceremonies: A Male’s Guide for a Successful Life" and would go on to release two more books “Growing Gents” and “Girls With Pearls” in July 2020.  He also became the owner of Jharris Publishing, LLC to help more aspiring authors feel comfortable telling their story.​
