I’m Papa to 11 grandchildren with a background in teaching, school administration and special education, so connecting with kids and families has always been a big part of my life.

When I’m not at the North Pole, I keep up my flight training by traveling the country as a flight attendant (you might have seen me go viral on TikTok). I bring plenty of quick wit and sarcasm along with the Christmas magic. After all, the grown-ups deserve to have a little fun too.

After 1,000+ virtual visits and seven seasons as the Big Guy, I still believe the best Santa visits are the ones that feel personal.
