My venture as the jolly ole fellow from the North Pole aka Santa Claus started when my wife and I were driving home from a corporate event. My wife out of the blue said to me " have you ever thought about being Santa Claus?" We that took me completely by surprise and my comeback to her was a big fat NO! I said how can I do that when I am not big and jolly like Santa. She proceeded to say to me that I would make a great Santa and would bring a lot of cheer and happiness to those who would be willing to have me at their event. I basically turned my nose up at that idea. Then just a few minutes late something inside me began to get intrigued about becoming Santa and what that would intel. So needles to say I called a close friend who has been a professional Santa for over 14 years. When I mentioned to him that I was interested in becoming a professional Santa, he got extremely excited and began to tell me about all the joys of being Santa. We were on the phone for almost 2 hours and I was complete awestruck about stepping into those big black boots and the red suit.

When something like this takes place in my life I completely step into accomplishing my goal 100 percent. I have now enveloped the role of Santa Clause professionally. I am excited to portray that jolly ole fellow Santa Claus for any event. Whether its a private home visit, company party, corporate event, parade or television appearance.

Im also a profession magician, illusionist, entertainer, actor and motivational speaker with over 30 years of experience globally. I have had the pleasure of performing across the nation in over 30 states. Special appearances in Las Vagus, Branson and television. Ive also had the privilege of performing internationally throughout the United Kingdom, Japan, Taiwan, Australia and Canada.

My love for being on stage started when I was in my early 30's and has continually grown over time. I simply enjoy putting smiles on the faces of people, motivating groups and captivating audiences. I never knew that when I caught the bug of performing illusion shows and motivational speaking I would get to travel around the world.

The goals Ive been able to accomplish once I put my mind to it has been amazing. For example when I got the bug to become a magician, I was able to put together a 2 hour stage illusion show and began touring within a 6 month time frame. Word began to spread and it caught the attention of David Copperfields creative consultant, Andre Kole. He actually contacted me and set up a time to come and see me perform. Boy was I nervous about him wanting to come to one of my shows. Well needles to say He showed up and watched my show. After the show he ran up to me and began to give me several complements about my show. (Keep in mind this world renowned illusionist was the creative consultant for David Copperfield and several other famous magicians.) He was so impressed that I received a video recommendation of my show. This was amazing to say the least.

In 1987 I accomplished and earned a black belt from KIKS American Karate. This took me 3.5 years to achieve this goal. It normally takes approximately 5 years of dedicated training to acquire the wisdom and spiritual growth necessary to advance to a black belt.

I said all of this to hopefully inspire you to hire someone with the drive to simply offer the most amazing realistic experience with the jolly ole fellow Mr Santa Claus. None of this was meant as a hey look at me, I'm great.

So if you need Santa to visit you home for a special time of Christmas Cheer look no further Santa is here.
Maybe you're planning a private holiday party for your employees. Have no fear Santa will help make your event the most memorable time of the year.

So if you need a professional Santa Claus for private home visits, company corporate events, Christmas parties, photoshoots, charity events parades and television appearances, or anyplace someone that needs Santa, I'm available.

Please have a parking spot available for Santa. It should be nearby but not in view of the guests. If in a home, please obtain permission for Santa to park on the street a couple of houses away.
Santa will need a sturdy chair without arms. A straight-backed dining chair will work fine. Santa will also need a small chair or bench for the little ones to sit on swell. Leave a bit of room behind the chair for family photos if possible and do not set up in front of the fire place if lit. Santa get pretty hot in his outfit and having a roaring fire may be pretty but does not help Santa stay cool.
Make sure that your cameras are charged and ready to go. Try to avoid “backlit” background areas for your pictures such as a window (during the day) or a plain white wall. these backgrounds will cause your camera or cell phone to give poor results. A Christmas Tree makes for a pretty background.
If you have gifts to be passed out be sure that they have labels that are easy to read. Santa REALLY appreciates a helper that can call out the names! All of the gifts should be able to fit into Santa’s Bag, about the size of a 32 gallon trash bag and easily carried by Santa. If there are more presents than bag, Santa may be able to provide an additional bag for a helper to carry.
Make sure that all of your guests have arrived before Santa makes his entrance. Santa will contact you 5-10 minutes prior to his arrival.
Santa quit smoking his pipe many years ago and would prefer to not be around smoke as it makes his suit smell and Mrs. Claus does not appreciate the smell.
If payment is due please place it inside of a Christmas card or a “Letter to Santa” and hand it to Santa at the end of his visit stating “This is something that we would like you to have.”
For Large Family, Business Parties and Special Events:
Santa’s needs 1 to 2 helpers, the helpers should check the children’s hands and faces for sticky or messy areas. Have some wipes to help with this task.
For Large Events,
As an added Bonus for large multi-hour events, we can provide, a Santa Chair, Photo Backdrop, and even Santa’s Mailbox for children to mail their letters.
Have a couple helpers, someone assigned to control the line and crowd.
Depending on how long the visit is, Santa will need hourly breaks. Probably 10 minutes after every 1 hour sitting. Please predetermine a quiet place where Santa can change out of his heavy coat, possibly some cool water and a restroom away from the public.

For any event large or small Santa can make it snow:
Imagine the look one everyone's eyes when Santa is able to make it snow. This of course is an extra fee for this magical experience. (Not advised to have it snow inside a residence due to liability reasons. But if you choose to have this experience, Santa and company will not be held liable for any and all issues that may or may not accuse.)

If you're hosting a photo session, corporate event, private party, community gathering, or just want to surprise your loved ones, this festively dressed Santa will add an extra dose of magic and cheer to your holiday celebrations.

Imagine the joy and wonder in the eyes of children and adults alike as they meet Santa Claus in person. Santa will bring enchanting stories, jolly laughter, and the true spirit of Christmas to every interaction and event.
