*** A MESSAGE FROM KOACH KRINGLE ***
“Whether I am portraying Santa Claus in the mall, walking through Wal-Mart, standing in front of a camera for a family picture or sitting with children on my knee in a home setting, I am Santa Claus and everyone believes it!”

“I have been blessed with a love for children, an enthusiasm for their enjoyment and commitment for their development & education. With a twinkle in my eye and a voice that projects my natural enthusiasm, I have always been able to be a part of one of those ‘positive memorable experiences in a child’s life’.”

“Are you looking for an amazing Santa Claus for a Christmas party, a home visit, a video, a family picture or a TV commercial? Let’s talk. I am a professional Santa Claus who truly loves the excitement Santa can bring to the Christmas Season and am available to bring the “Magic of Christmas” to your event in Nashville, TN and the surrounding area.”

“Oh, and the belly that jiggles like a bowl full of jelly … yes, I have that too.”

Koach Kringle began his professional Santa career while in college as the Mall Santa in Indianapolis, IN (Glendale Mall) in 1969!

… for (4) four full Christmas Seasons he engaged and fulfilled Christmas Joys for children at Glendale Mall and other locations. He also participated in Special Events including home gatherings, corporate events, Christmas parties and other small mall performances. His wife also enjoyed the Christmas Seasons as an Elf at Glendale Mall while in high school.

‘Koach’ has been involved with children of all ages for the past 55+ years. He holds both a Bachelor’s Degree (Butler University 1973) and Master’s Degree (Western Michigan University 1977) in Education. He has been a full time teacher in Elementary Schools (3 years), High Schools (11 years) and on the University levels for both Undergraduate and Master’s levels (15 years). During that time he has coached football in Grade School, High School, College and in the Pros for 45+ years … he has even coached International Professional American Football in Finland, Germany (in two different cities) and Italy. He also spent 3+ years teaching LEGO building & Chess classes/camps for children K-5 with Strategic Kids in Denver. For the past 4+ years in Denver, he has supervised Flag Football Leagues for i9 Sports for children ages 4-14.

Koach Kringle was also employed as the Mall Santa in Tupelo, MS (Mall at Barnes Crossing 2001) and in Longmont, CO (Twin Peaks Shopping Center 2005). After the 2001 Christmas Season, he was offered a full-time Santa position at a larger mall, but turned it down to continue his career as a Football Coach. In 2006 until the present, he has been a Special Events Santa, exciting and entertaining children and adults in home visits, store visits, office parties, group gatherings and corporate events.

IN 2019, KOACH KRINGLE BECAME A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE WORLDWIDE SANTA CLAUS NETWORK! He and his wife attended Susen Mesco’s 2-Day “Professional Santa Claus School” in Denver, CO in April 2018. He also visited the ISC Denver in April 2018, talking with experienced Santas, like new Santa Hall-of-Famer Dutch Schrap, and vendors, researching ideas and attending an Introductory “The Santa Journey” Class. ‘Koach’ is a Gold Club Member of Santa Ed Taylor’s “The Santa Claus Conservatory” where he attends classes and has prepared with the completion of the extensive 9-week course “The Art & Business of Being Santa”! He has also studied the outstanding “Sign Language for Santas” & “Spanish for Santas” DVDs by Santa Spangle. One of his favorite ‘personal textbooks is “Being Santa Claus – What I learned about the true meaning of Christmas” by Sal Lizard. He develops much of his Santa Claus background story from the outstanding publication “The Santa Claus Book” by Alden Perkes and “Santa Talks: The Life Story of Saint Nicholas” by Glenn Heald. ‘Koach’ said, “I also like to use some of the modern Santa Claus development ideas from Tim Allen’s “The Santa Clause”, like Bernard as the Head Elf and Chet as the ‘new’ reindeer-in-training.”

‘The Classic Claus’ wears the traditional “Coca Cola Santa” suit. He has a designer beard & wig Level Tier 2.0 (the Tim Allen movie “The Santa Clause” look) from The Custom Wig Company (one of the top professional custom wig designers in the country … out of Louisville, KY).

Koach Kringle recently stated, “I love working with children … engaging with them, motivating them and inspiring them. They are our future leaders and I want to be one of those small positive experiences they have in life and can remember and pull from throughout their life. I also love working with the military and their families. Our son was a former served in the Iraq war and was a Special Forces Green Beret … we love the military and are always thankful for their service and sacrifices!” He also stated, “I love to develop the Santa Claus role by pulling from “The Santa Claus Book” by Alden Perkes and using the Reindeer Trading Cards I got from Santa Spangle … what child or adult doesn’t want to hear more about Santa’s Reindeers – especially Rudolph … and now Chet”?

… “and by the way, how many people have really been to the North Pole like my wife and I have?”
