“NETWORKING BREAKFAST”
"Surprised By The Unexpected"
with special guest, Mark Bragaw
Senior Loan Officer, Fairway Mortgage

Start your day with networking! Grab your business cards and join us at our Bridgepoint Breakfast roundtable networking event at Ridgetop Coffee, where you will have the chance to connect with good people from a wide range of businesses and professions.

Join us for a fresh Ridgetop breakfast, networking with like-minded people from around the metro region, and an inspirational presentation from Mark Bragaw.

At the breakfast, Mark will share his inspiring personal and  spiritual journey that began with an encounter with a homeless man while attending a business conference in Baltimore.

Mark Bragaw is a Senior Mortgage Loan Officer with Fairway Independent Mortgage Company.

Mark started in the mortgage industry in 2004, coming from a previous career in restaurant management. He has brought this foundation of serving others to his mortgage career and it is the core philosophy of his team. Their greatest strength is the time and attention they spend on educating, advising and advocating for clients and strategic partners.

In 2010, while attending a business conference in Baltimore, Mark met a homeless man while entering a restaurant to buy lunch. This encounter led him on a journey through the homeless community of Baltimore and beyond. This journey and the relationships he built changed his thinking, his character, and even the way he did business within the mortgage community. At the breakfast, Mark will share how his life and work has been transformed by an encounter with the unexpected.
