December 20, 2025A+ Santa!
Santa made every child feel important. They are all excited and he listened intently to each child as they shared what they wanted for Christmas. The event ended with a special touch as Santa read "The Night Before Christmas" surrounded by attentive chldren as well as parents. We definitely give Santa an A++! He made our event so special!

December 8, 2025Outstanding Visit from Santa!
Wow! What a fun night at out museum thanks to Santa Claus... If you want someone who is easy to work with, intuitive about your events needs and an absolute crowd pleaser, then this is the Santa you want to book! He came to an event with 100+ people of all ages and interacted with each one, telling them about our museums mission and spreading festive cheer. My coworkers are still talking about Santa days later!!

December 8, 2025Best Santa!!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Santa at our recent photography event, and he was nothing short of incredible! From start to finish, he was flexible, gracious, and completely committed to making the experience magical for every child who attended.
One of the highlights of the day was watching him climb aboard the fire truck we arranged—he embraced the moment with enthusiasm and brought so much joy to the kids. His warm presence, professionalism, and respectful demeanor truly set him apart.
We couldn’t have asked for a better Santa. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond to create unforgettable memories, he’s the one. Highly, highly recommended! 🎅✨

November 20, 2025Perfect Santa for Large School Event
Genuine Santa Claus was absolutely fantastic at our large school event, bringing so much joy and excitement! He was warm, patient, and engaging with every child, taking time to make each interaction feel special. His energy never dipped, even with the huge crowd, and he managed to keep everyone smiling. Families and staff were raving about how authentic and magical he was. We couldn’t have asked for a better Santa and would gladly invite him back again!

For adult audiences, perhaps a little edgier engagement!
About
Several years ago, a now client was desperate to find Santa for an event the client was sponsoring! An associate of hers said, "Call this guy! My daughter thinks he is the real deal." She KNEW who I am. No longer could I keep my secret! Since them I have delighted children of all ages. I will support nearly any client, any time. I turned down only 1 audition for scantily clad Santa for a commercial! Mrs. Claus did not want me to attract an unwanted following!
In the off season, I am a metallurgical engineer, writer, speaker. Year round I am husband and father!
