Merry Christmas! I’m so glad you found my website. Here is some information about me, the services I offer, and how together we can bring the Christmas Spirit to your family, organization, or event.

This all started for me the first time I visited a home as Santa. It was 1980 and I was twenty years old. A friend asked if I would come to his family Christmas party and take pictures with his grandson. He provided the suit; I had a real beard, but put on a fake white one. And with no experience, there I was; I was Santa. Well, that visit meant as much to me as it did to that young boy, who looked up and captured the magic of Christmas. Some years later, my cousins in Jamul, California worked with the TV show Treehouse Masters, who built a Santa’s treehouse on their property. I was blessed to know a local Santa who retired; so, I got my first real Santa suit.

Each year, many families reserve a special time to carry on their Christmas traditions, and I have the honor of being their family’s Santa. Over the years, I have visited with more families than I can count. My goal is to give each child the opportunity to visit with Santa. Each child is special; they are all different; and they are all wonderful. Some bring notes; others dictate their list; and others may be shy, so Mom and Dad pass their list along. I have lists in many languages, lengths, materials, and even watercolor. And I’ve kept every one in a special box.

Background and Experience

One of my employers has been Cherry Hill, which provides Santa’s Helpers to many of the shopping malls across America. I’ve worked at the Moreno Valley Mall in Riverside, California, the Carlsbad Mall near Oceanside, and three years at the Fashion Valley Mall in San Diego (a wonderful mall!). I’ve also worked for a company out of Temecula, California, Jolly Jumps, and San Diego Santas. Companies with which I have a continuing relationship are Cherry Hill, Santa’s Treehouse, Jolly Jumps, and Royal Entertainers in San Diego.

In addition to the malls and Santa’s Treehouse, I have worked at the annual Christmas event at the 32nd Street Naval Base in San Diego, where hundreds of children, families and service members come to have fun and visit with Santa. And Mrs. Claus joined me. I have also worked at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, El Camino Grace Church in El Cajon, and Skyline Church in San Diego where four thousand visitors attended the Christmas event. I was even joined by the morning news teams of KUSI and Fox5 San Diego when they visited Santa’s Treehouse in Jamul. So much fun! I am a member of the Fraternal Order of Real Bearded Santas (FORBS), a national organization that provides training and maintains a background check of members.
