PastorSanta, LLC

Santa Claus is my alter ego, a chance to be a larger-than-life character for a time and enjoy being with people in ways I don't usually have in my day-to-day world. I want to provide you and your guests with the Santa experience that you want for Christmas. I match my programming and wardrobe with the needs of each individual client. You can expect that I, or my assistant, will take the time to learn how best we can serve you and your guests, whether you are a family of three or a corporate event of 3,000. Again, I do my best to meet the needs of both secular and traditional Christian events.

I was born and raised in the central midwest, and now for the last decade, I am proud to call myself a Texan. I began my working career in engineering and having done that for 22 years I felt the call to ministry because it offered me an outlet for what I feel I was created for, a need to relate and connect with people. Santa is, of course, a side gig, and it offers me. as Pastor Santa an opportunity to connect with both the secular and Christian worlds. Most of my gigs are secular, but I also wanted to offer to those who desire an opportunity to bring back the message of the birth of the Savior of the world, Jesus.

I began learning the art of Santa performance in late 2019, and the 2020 Christmas season was the year I began performing publicly. I have attended a number of schools and conferences to hone my craft, learning from some Santas that have performed in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, well-known Christmas movies, and many more who perform here in the Texas region. The highlight of my training so far was attending the 2022 IBRBS International Santa Celebration in Atlanta with over 600 brother Santas from across the nation and the world. (IBRBS stands for the International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santas.)

This year I have decided to expand my business and join the fine folks at GigSalad.
