Brooksville Santa

You will have a Santa that will stay in character for the duration of your event. I can deliver gifts, if prearranged, do story time, sing songs, pose for photos. Just inform me of your needs and I will do whatever I can to accommodate all of your requests. Please keep them tasteful and in the spirit of Christmas.

I retired from the Hernando County School System and Nature Coast Technical High School as a teacher after 17 years of service to the county, in January of 2020.
I began my portrayal of Santa Claus in December of that year, portraying the Jolly Old Fellow at Deltona Elementary School in Spring Hill, where my wife Susan was serving as a Special Need Teacher.
Susan retired from the Hernando County School System and Deltona Elementary School in June of 2024, after 33 years of service to the county.
We both keep our school volunteer credentials current so we may continue to serve the Hernando County School System as volunteers.
I have portrayed Santa Claus for Deltona Elementary School in Spring Hill, Florida every year since 2021, visiting classrooms and serving as their official Santa at their Winter Wonderland evening event since 2023.
In 2024, I was fortunate enough to add Spring Hill Elementary School to list of schools I attended as their Santa for school pictures.
I also became the official Santa for the Spring Hill Moose Lodge #521 in December of 2020 and continue to serve as their Santa for all their events since that time.
I began making home visitations as Santa at homes in Brooksville and Spring Hill in 2023 and continue to be invited back to them yearly since that time.
My wife, who attends all my visitations as my valet and photographer made her first portrayal as Mrs. Claus at a home visit in Spring Hill just last year.
Last Christmas Eve (2024) I volunteered to portray Santa at the Hernando County Courthouse in the early evening for families that did not get the opportunity to have pictures taken with Santa. That event was very well received and I will make it a yearly stop each and every year for the residents of our county.
I have been fortunate enough to be chosen as the Official Santa Claus for The City of Dade City, Florida for their 2025 Holiday Season, appearing at the Dade City Christmas Tree Lighting, the Christmas Stroll, Shop with a Cop and the City of Dade City’s employees Christmas Party.
For 2025 I added Brooksville Elementary School to my schedule, as well as Pleasant Grove Elementary School in Inverness, Florida.
I made Breakfast with Santa appearances at The Florida Cracker Kitchen in Brooksville, and The Golden Corral Restaurant in Spring Hill, Florida.
Mrs. Claus and I made an early evening visit to Duck Donuts in Spring Hill for photos with Santa.
We also added New Port Richey to my list of Moose Lodges that I appear at.
I have been invited back each year to every home visitation I have made since beginning my appearances as Santa.

Seating will be required. Short walking distances preferred. I will call or text approx. 1 week prior to your event to make final arrangements and make arrangements to pick up any required gifts to pass out if so required. Please make sure that the gifts are clearly marked as to who they are for. If you have the names of the children that will be present, please send me that list so that in advance so I can have Nice List Certificates printed for them.
