“Santa John and Mrs. Claus were absolutely wonderful. Their personalities are lovely, their attire is amazing, and the kids and adults all loved them! ”
Overview
Santa Claus, photographer photo sessions, Cruise ships, special events, commercials, TV, and more. I am energetic and enjoy what I do. Rates are dependent upon dates and availability.
Mrs. Claus available upon request and her availability, at no additional cost.
I have been portraying Santa every Christmas season since 2016. I lived in San Antonio Tx. from Aug 2015 through Feb 2024. While in San Antonio, I have been in parades, worked with 5 professional photographers doing family photos, and Photos with Santa at the San Antonio Riverwalk. I have done corporate parties and private. Mrs Claus works with me and our outfits are ours.

December 17, 2023Santa & Mrs. Claus come to life
What a blessing Santa Mark and Mrs. Claus was to our neighborhood Christmas celebration!!
They were so personable and treated everyone with such loving care!! They greeted, they laughed, they shared memories that will last a lifetime. Many took such photogenic pictures that will provide true life Christmas cards for years to come!! They truly look the part!! The beard was real, the costumes were amazing!!
We have already requested them for next year!!
Blessings on them & their family and looking forward to future opportunities to share!!

December 30, 2022Wonderful Santa and Mrs. Claus
Santa Mark and Mrs. Claus were great! We had a "Pictures with Santa" event for senior citizens and their families. They were communicative, on time, and great throughout the entire event. Their costumes were spot on! I recommend them if you're looking for a Santa!

About
Member of the International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santa's (IBRBS) in which a security background check has been conducted.
This is my ninth year as Santa Claus (2024). I started doing this out of pure joy and the desire to bring smiles to my community, in San Antonio Texas. I set up my Christmas display in my front yard and decided to put on a Santa suit. I stood in my front yard and started waving at everyone that came by. It was a large neighborhood and only one way in and out. I lived at the entrance, so everyone coming in had to see me waving. Soon people started stopping by and taking pictures. They started bringing their kids and even bringing out the kid in themselves. It was such a good time, I am continuing to play the role. This is where the "unverified reviews" are coming from. My neighbors that come out to visit with Santa are logging on and giving their reviews. Since they did not hire me through gigsalad, they show up as unverified. These are people that know me all year round. Not just as Santa!
My background is in many areas of interest, I am a Navy Vet of 9 years, working as a Nuclear trained Machinist Mate, honorably discharged in 1992. I served in Operation Desert Storm in 1991, receiving the "Kuwait Liberation" (Kuwait) medal and the "Southwest Asia service" ribbon. Graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor's degree in business management, But I am currently trying to start a new business growing microgreens and edible flowers. I also serve as a Board of Director for a nonprofit.
I am an ordained minister with Victory World Missions International Ministry out of Calabash NC. This year, my wife and I moved to NC to work full time with this ministry.
I get a lot of joy and excitement in my role as Santa Claus. I am available for most any venue and I look forward to hearing from you.
Additional booking notes
I do have a chair and backdrops available for an additional $75 setup fee.
I also have a Ring/iPad photo booth available for an additional fee. $150 with a santa visit.
