Join us for a fresh garden-style lunch, an inspirational presentation, as well as roundtable networking with men and women from around the DC metro region!

At the lunch, Michael will share his inspiring professional and spiritual journey and describe how his faith has enabled him to stand tall in the midst of incredible personal challenges.

About Our Guest Speaker...

Michael Bronson is currently a cybersecurity analyst and consultant for AT&T. For years, Michael's professional life was balanced between his love of technology and his love of music. He spent much of his early life working in the IT space during the days, and jamming with friends and bands most nights as a guitarist.

In 1993, Michael learned his kidneys were failing--a common complication for lifelong diabetics. This would be the first of many complications to afflict him, including vascular disease leading to amputation of both legs below the knee, significant vision loss and other things. 

Michael was blessed to receive a double organ transplant in 1999 which not only restored his kidney function, but also cured his diabetes. Today, Michael continues to work in the IT space by day, but has reduced his playing in bands by night.
