Kenny Tedford Biography

Born with brain damage that left him with the cognitive ability of a child, deafness in both ears, legally blind in one eye, partial paralysis on his left side, and unable to speak well until the age of ten, Tedford is a real-life combination of Helen Keller and Forrest Gump.

Despite those challenges, and being told he’d never finish the third grade, Tedford grew up to defy all the odds. Not only did he finish high school, but is one of only two deaf people in the world with a master’s degree in storytelling, and eventually served as the Executive Director of the Tennessee Council for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

Tedford is a motivational speaker, humorist, actor, and masterful storyteller, sharing his message that if he can achieve his dreams, anyone can. His unique and authentic humor flows naturally from the kind of mishaps and misunderstandings that inevitably happen when a child finds themself navigating life in the body of a disabled, grown man.

Your audience will laugh, cry, and cheer while they fall in love with this man.

Tedford is the subject of the new book, Four Days with Kenny Tedford, written by bestselling author Paul Smith.
