A book of personal memoirs and lessons.
The publishing world is a tough business (and getting tougher), it doesn’t favor the newbies ( like me ), and it doesn’t take chances on new ideas (like mine). So, that means that it is up to YOU to help. All the info. on this site is absolutely FREE – that’s my gift. All I ask is that you consider purchasing a signed copy of my book through the link on the site, or, buying from either Amazon or Barnes.
And if you’ve read the book, don’t be shy! We need your input. Take a look at what others have said below. Oh, and just one more thing. Please tell others about it. Passing the book around doesn’t help an author. Only purchases allow us to do what we do. And believe me, it’s a break even proposition at best.
Review by Feathered Quill:
The title may be misleading for a few readers, because this is one of the most wonderful stories about the “masculine” side of a family that has ever been written. And how, once upon a time, the men of this world were kind, loving, faithful, and knew how to treat their families respectfully, as well as their ladies. In fact, for some readers, this will be almost a trip down memory lane, and bring happiness to many mothers and grandmothers who will love the fact that there is still one man on the planet who had a fantastic support system, and was taught by the ‘best of the best’ when it came to the male side of his family.
The writer is the son of a body mechanic and the great grandson of a stone mason. One of his grandfathers was a WWII veteran and the other was an orphan who never knew his last name. The author lived by what these men said and the stories they told. He even attended Quantico and learned some extremely important ‘man’ life lessons at Marine Officer’s School, and has spent his life not only coaching athletes and others ‘physically’ in the gym, but also being a life coach who can offer words of advice to all the people out there who are, right now, far more interested in the internet culture and loss of integrity which is one of the main causes of the high divorce rate in our country.
No, this is not a book that ‘Women’s Lib’ fanatics would be mad at – that’s not the type of lessons that are taught. This is simply a very honest man who has his garage of tools to represent a hard day’s work, and one of the very few men in this world who KNOWS that, although women can be president, run businesses while at the same time running the household, raising the kids, etc., there are women who still want to have the man be her hero again. No matter what is stated about that particular idea, females are still watching the countless romantic comedies at the movie theater and they are STILL making romance novels the largest bestsellers. Conclusion? Yes, women want that hero back!
There is a story about one grandfather who spent time hollowing out a nickel for his fiancée’s wedding ring; he went on to be wounded in 1944 while rescuing another wounded Marine and winning every accolade the government gave. Then stories of his amazing father – the auto body man – who at sixty-five still works every day, and raised his children with kindness, respect, and love. There are stories of Uncle Joe – one of the ‘best men‘ in this author’s life, as well as how the author, himself, had to face fear, bullies, hazing, and growing up in a “rough” world, but still holding dear the lessons that were taught to him by the men he most admired.
For women who also had those amazing fathers and grandfathers who worked their behinds off and taught them to raise respectful children who would grow up with integrity and morals, this is a truly remarkable and uplifting story, and shows exactly what is missing in the world we live in today.
Quill Says: Respect, love, honesty, and inspirational tales of a family who always put family first! It will make every reader wish THAT world still existed.

Michael:
I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much I enjoyed
reading Man School. I was searching for something on the web and I came
across a reference to the book; I was intrigued by the description of
the book and I was interested in what you had to say. I enjoyed your
writing style, stories and the messages–a lot of food for thought.
All the best to you and your family.

“This is the wisdom of men, which once was passed down from father to son for generations.
Today, that tradition is almost gone, along with those lessons. So I wrote them here, full-strength…”
Michael Bronco, author

or buy from these retailers: Every mother wants her son to read this book! "I met a man tonight who grew up a couple of streets over from me. I told him about you - that you were the first man who taught me there is a power that flows from an authentic life. I had tried to live one before knowing you, but you validated it and taught me so much more. Since then I have met extraordinary men who believe our current world is wrong - misguided - and false. There is an army of us working the edges of a society that doesn't always respect the truth. But you know, as they do, that we have lost our way and the path back is in recognizing the things we have lost had value. Thank you brother. "I read the book and feel that no one should graduate High School or get married before reading this." -Olga D'Alto This book has so many valuable lessons for both men and women that it would be impossible to list them all here. I also wanted to share the story about my old boss, Bill, who taught me the single most valuable lesson of my life. Bill was the sole surviving member of his family. His father, a man called, "Willie lump lump, was a master craftsman, who also happened to be an alcoholic. Willie knew he was dying, so he had Bill quit high school so he could spend the last two years of his life teaching Bill everything he knew. Then Bill taught those lessons to me. In this book, I am honored to be able to pass those lessons on to you. Along with the lessons of my Drill Instructor, my father, my uncles, grandfathers and great-grandfathers. These are men who did things the old-fashioned way. And as a boy, I can tell you, they never let me down. Why I wrote this: I looked around and couldn't help but notice that most men did not have fathers and grandfathers around like I did, so I felt compelled to share mine. I have had an incredibly rich life that was heavily influenced by my great grandfathers, grandfathers, my father, uncles, drill instructors, coaches, world champion athletes, elite warriors and many more. The real question is, how could I not write this book? Anecdotes and stories on: and a ton more!!! How much is the book? $14.95 plus 2.70 shipping. 2 easy ways to receive your copy: "In just the first few(10-12) pages I have been so captivated! I will admit to you that there were parts that exposed some emotional vulnerabilities as it took me back to my childhood. It also made me think about the things I do now with my kids...I want to improve on the relationship my dad had with his dad ... the book is extremely powerful!!!!! I believe it will trigger serious emotions and thoughts in all men and women who read it. Its amazing that you were able to sit down and just begin pouring this onto paper. What a true gift!!" K. Davis
And every man needs to read this book!
I have learned that from you."
