I am deeply committed to giving back. All appearance fees are donated to The Santa Claus Fellowship and Smile on Down Syndrome, supporting causes close to my heart. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of contributing to places like Riley Children's Hospital, The Indianapolis Children's Museum, The Santa Claus Museum and Village, Newfields Winter Lights, and Holiday World.
I am also the founder of The Santa Claus Institute for Traditional Studies and the Director/Founder of The Santa Claus Research Committee, where we keep the magic alive for future generations. Through these initiatives and more, I aim to uphold the legacy of Santa Claus and all that he represents: joy, kindness, and the true spirit of giving.
Welcome to my world of Christmas wonder!

​
For me, Santa Claus is more than just a figure in a red suit—he is the embodiment of the Spirit of Christmas. It’s both an honor and a humbling experience to share this magical presence with people, young and old, across the world. I believe in the traditions of Christmas that we hold dear, and through my portrayal, I strive to keep those cherished memories alive.
With over 40 years of experience, my purpose is simple: to bring a little joy and happiness to children of all ages. Whether it’s a wide-eyed child waiting for their Christmas wish or an adult reconnecting with the magic of the season, I feel privileged to spread the warmth of the holiday spirit.
