Daniel Abraham is a dedicated advocate for the bleeding disorders community who balances two distinct careers: a professional actor and performer, and a lead software developer for a small tech firm. A man with severe hemophilia A, he has championed patient needs for several years through the Virginia Bleeding Disorders Foundation, engaging with both state and federal policymakers. Daniel brings to the Research Advisory Council a commitment to shaping studies around real world patient priorities, expanding research into women’s bleeding disorders, and ensuring inclusivity for diverse communities. Outside his advocacy and foundation life, he’s slipped into the Santa Claus coat more than a few times — ask him what it’s like to wear the red suit!
