Professional Santa Claus/Entertainer for over 44 years! Let me help make your Christmas Party, Home Visit or Holiday Event a very special one. I am a real bearded, real bellied, jolly Santa who loves to entertain. I am comfortable with all children, adults, seniors and people with disabilities. Over the years I have performed at over a thousand parties and events. These have included family gatherings, open houses, company parties, business promotions, parades, tree lighting ceremonies and breakfast with Santa etc. I can deliver gifts, greet guests, sing Christmas Carols and pose for individual or group photos. I can also provide Father Christmas, Mrs. Claus, Rudolph and Frosty the Snowman.

Santa will arrive on time. I drive a red Jeep equipped with 4 wheel drive. I have never missed a scheduled performance.
(Please keep in mind however that we do live in Minnesota and winter weather can be unpredictable).
Santa does not overbook events so I will be at my prime and ready for your event.
I have a white, real beard and am naturally padded with a jolly personality.
Santa wears only the finest custom made, red velvet costume, leather belt, real boots and carry real brass sleigh bells on a leather strap.
Depending on the type of event, I bring along a large velvet toy bag or carry a decorated whicker basket.
Santa is a non-drinker and non-smoker and will never eat, drink or use bad language in public... so no worries.
Santa will be happy to sing or lead the guests in a Christmas Carol or two. (Jingle Bells and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer are his favorite to sing).
Santa will try to make verbal contact with every child, senior or adult in the room.
Santa will never promise to bring a child their request unless told by a parent to do so.
Santa will allow time for individual and group photos as requested.
Santa will stay the entire length of time he is hired for.
Santa will use the term "Merry Christmas" so if you don't like it, feel free to hire a different Santa!
I was born and raised in Minnesota and have lived in the Twin Cities my entire life. I am a Father, Grandfather, Adult Foster Care Provider and a lover of all things Christmas! I began my career as Santa Claus while in my teens and soon had more appearance requests than I could personally handle. In the 1980's I started a Santa Entertainment business, and at one time trained, costumed and employed over 30 Santa's, 5 (link hidden)aus's, 4 Elves, numerous Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman during the Christmas Holiday Season. I would schedule them for home visits, private parties and corporate events. I had contracts with many of the 'upscale" retail establishments, shopping centers and malls throughout the Twin Cities area.
Most of our costumes were designed by me and sewn by a few talented seamstresses that were willing to take on the task. Only high quality velvets, satins and fabrics were used to create our costumes. We were known for the little details, our Santa's wore real leather belts and boots. They even carried with them, long leather straps of authentic brass sleigh bells that the children would enjoy being allowed to touch and ring. Soon I had so many people asking to purchase our Santa suits that I had to open a costume shop. We opened a costume shop and began selling and renting costumes not only for the Christmas season, but expanded to include Easter, Halloween and even Mardi Gras!
We were at the peak of our game, but I wasn't happy. I was spending so much time managing an entertainment company and a costume shop that I barely had time to do what I enjoyed the most... portraying Santa Claus. So we sold both businesses and I went back to being Santa during the Christmas Season instead of being Santa's employer. I don't regret starting the Santa company or opening the costume shop, I learned a lot by the experience. i enjoyed sharing my experience as a Santa and training other men how to do it the correct way. Santa is much more than just being able to fill out a red costume and saying ho ho ho. The person who portrays Santa must genuinely enjoy spreading the spirit of Christmas and sharing the Santa character with others. If you don't the children will see through you, no matter how nice of a costume you wear.
Part of the wonder of Christmas are the traditions. I have learned that the seniors and adults enjoy Santa as much as the children do, but for different reasons. Adults love reliving their youthful memories of Santa through the children's reactions. Many times they are truly as excited about interacting with Santa as the children are! I make a point of interacting with everyone in the room regardless of age... the adults love to play along.
I hope this background information has helped you understand the type of Santa you will be getting if you hire me. If you prefer a Victorian or upscale type Santa, I can also portray Father Christmas, complete with an old style costume, carrying a staff and wearing a holly wreath on my head instead of a hat. This character works well for an all adult event or business party. Either way, I guarantee a great time will be had by all!
I am available for hire throughout the Twin Cities and the surrounding area. I can be hired by the hour seven days a week and have no travel restrictions as long as I am compensated for my time. Extended day and multiple hour appointments are welcome and discounts will be made. Non-profit groups are welcome to contact me about reduced rates.
Everyone should keep in mind that the closer we get to the Holidays the busier my schedule gets and my calendar fills up, so I encourage you to contact me early. I have a yearly background check and I am insured. Thanks for considering me.
