MICHAEL ARONIN

About the Artist

Michael Aronin knows two things: he has a killer sense of humor, and he has cerebral palsy. 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. Today he spends much of his time lending that considerable wit, and a surprising dose of wisdom, to motivational speaking. Michael feels that his presentations benefit those who are disabled as well as those who are not.

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. Because disabled or not, we can be our own best friend or our own worst enemy. Michael believes that we all face challenges one way or another. You will see in his program that it is not the disability stopping you from achieving, but your attitude towards your own situation.

Michael understands people, and in his presentations 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 modem "conveniences" to other people's prejudices, and through it all helps us to see the humor and the potential in our own frustrations.
