Their joy is my ultimate reward, and it's all designed to make your event as memorable as possible.

I'm Chad (Gateway Santa), a full-time professional family entertainer passionate about Santa Claus and the holiday spirit. I was born in St. Louis and lived most of my life here rooting for the Cardinals. I just love how family-friendly our town is and all the amazing things to do here.

Portraying Santa Claus is so much fun, but unfortunately, the holiday season doesn't last all year. The rest of the time, I spend performing as Magician Chef Bananas. Chef Bananas is a family entertainer who does more than 200 events every year. That right, everything from birthday parties to schools, festivals, fairs, churches, and anywhere else where kids and families need entertainment. Not only that, but I also have another company, Foam Gone Bananas where we offer foam parties for large and small events. So, I definitely know a thing or two about entertaining.

In fact, I grew up in the restaurant business and you could say that customer service is in my blood. Every job I've ever had has been in customer service. This experience gives me a unique perspective on the needs of you and your family during the holiday season. I'd love to help you out this year.
