Really Santa Claus is the best.

He made our holiday event very special. He was patient and a wonderful man. He sat with each guest and handed out gifts that we provided. He was right on time and the surprise appearance went off perfectly. Definitely recommend this wonderful man’s

Magical Santa Experience—Highly Recommend!

We hired Santa for our Tower Theatre Pajama Party, and he was fantastic! He was very friendly, responsive, and truly went the extra mile to make the event magical. He took photos with everyone, spent time meeting with the kids, and made each interaction feel special. We couldn’t have asked for a better Santa!

Kind, engaging with children

Santa was so kind and engaging with families at our event. He was prompt, communicative, and brought holiday spirit to the room. We appreciate him! Thank you, Santa!

Thank you Erin...it was my great privilege...and the last session of children...the special 'quiet' time for the 'challenged children group', was so thoughtful, unique and special.

Toy Drive for Shriners Children’s Hospital

Santa was nice to have and walked around the car show and took pictures with everyone. We didn’t have a lot of kids coming but the adults did enjoy Santa very much. Thank you Santa.

This BMW club, and others that were not a part of the club, were all were super nice folks, collected a ton of toys, and did a caravan to Shriner's Children's Hospital in Sacramento.
It was my honor to have been a small part.

Thank you Bernard.
I told my granddaughter that I probably would have enjoyed staying even longer with your very fun, kind, respectful group.
Great children...and (even at 141 years old)...I believe that I remembered everything about each...much to their surprise.
Was my pleasure.
happy New Year

What to expect

Expect a very well dressed, (part time HS teacher), with a natural white beard and professional attributes...able to sing or lead songs, March, Walk or sit in Parades, read stories, laugh, distribute gifts, and pretty much most anything else.

About

I will be brief.
Cal Poly grad '71. University of Redlands grad 1973. Vietnam era Veteran with an honorable discharge. (see picts)
Owned a small business for 33 years, which I used to simultaneously support a non profit mission to desperate people, (mostly children) in SE Asia 1983 until present.
Still Teaching part time, in the local public school system.
Have been raising my now 16 year-old granddaughter since 2016. She doubles as my Elf at many events. (Sort of a 2 for 1 deal). Shes a precious gem of a young lady and loves children...'of all ages'.
Our goal will always be to shine the great Light of Love to all whom we are blessed to meet or serve, during this, the most precious and 'magical' of all Seasons.
