I'm a 64-year-old grandfather of 3 kids and 14 grandkids. I started my love for Santa Claus as a volunteer at my grandkids' school, borrowing a suit from a long-time friend. I love how excited the kids get when they meet me. I love for them to have something fun to believe in that gives them joy. I truly wanted to visit with more children and others to spread the magic and joy of the season! I was not disappointed, and it seems those that had me to their events were giving out all 5-star reviews!

I have been through the Worldwide Santa Claus Network Santa School and am a member of the International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santas and their local chapter, The Palm Tree Santas. These groups are dedicated to protecting the spirit of Santa Claus and the real meaning of Christmas—Jesus's birthday!

I do home and virtual visits, baby's first and family photos, faith-based visits, and Christmas and Corporate Parties. Hospital and Elder care facilities are near and dear to my heart.
