Bio

Danny Jordan is an award-winning author, TV producer, and motivational speaker. When his daughter was born with an upper limb difference in 2018, he became an advocate for inclusion and accurate representation of disability in the media. 

Danny's premiere book, Rae's First Day: The First Story in The Capables Series, received the Kirkus Star, the IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award, and was named one of the Best Books of 2021 by Kirkus Reviews magazine. He has since gone on to publish the second book in The Capables series, Lex Leads The Way. This journey has inspired the founding of The Capable Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to celebrating difference and promoting inclusion. 

Outside of his literary adventures, Danny has produced and directed over 250 hours of primetime major network and cable television programming, along with co-hosting the #1 Christmas podcast in the world, Christmas Countdown. Danny was most recently on the producing team for How To Dance In Ohio, a new Broadway musical about and starring individuals with autism. 

Danny lives in California with his family. Follow Danny on Instagram @dannyjordan

Connection to CNL 

I am the dad of a child with a congenital upper limb difference, and we have attended CNL So Cal the last two years. Our family is HUGE fans of CNL's camp experience! Thank you for all you do to empower our kids and educate us parents/caregivers!
