Michael Aronin knows two things: he's got a killer sense of humor and he's got cerebral palsy. Michael never lets his disability get him down - in fact it hardly ever phased him. While an undergraduate at Towson State University, he was elected President of the Student Government Association. He went on to be one of the hardest working comics in the country. He spends much of his time lending that considerable wit, and a surprising dose of wisdom, to motivational speaking. Michael speaks about what it was like growing up disabled in an able bodied world - of the importance of believing in ourselves, of building and maintaining a support system, and of the crucial role humor and attitude can play in our lives. As Michael will tell you, his only disability is losing his hair at an early age. He offers humor as a way to break down barriers and prove that someone who is disabled can have the same outlook on life as one who is not. Michael understands people, and in his presentations he uses a rare combination of leadership skills and gentle nudging to help them bring out the best in themselves. He spends every day in mirthful battle with everything from modern "conveniences" to other people's prejudices, and through it all helps us to see the humor and the potential in our own frustrations.
