About The Inner Banks Santa

I love kids and love spreading joy.  I've raised two fine young men, spent time as a baby sitter, Boy Scout, church volunteer, talk show host, mentor and teacher.  As I have "matured", I decided to let my already-white beard grow, drink a few more milk shakes, get an official uniform, take online classes from the highly-regarded Worldwide Santa Claus Network and...

HO-HO-HO!

The Inner Banks Santa comes to town!

Through the Network, I took classes in "how-to", home, school and shopping center visits, community events, storytelling, visits with special needs children,  photo sessions, and more, all to assure a quality, personal Santa experience for your family, friends and co-workers.

• Thanks to a happy face and a jolly disposition, kids take to me immediately.  The sight of a child running into Santa's arms is one of the great joys at the holidays.  I've also done events and visits with senior citizens and handicapped and special needs kids and adults.

Some of my most memorable Santa moments:

√  At our annual breakfast, seeing some of the same kids again and getting a bone-crushing hug.

√  A non-verbal autistic child, who somehow was able to say "Merry Christmas"!

√  After an appearance at a school, a mob of kids ambushing me in the parking lot.

√  Shy children with secrets they can only tell their trusted Santa Claus (it can break your heart).

√  A special-needs adult who cornered Santa, wanting only a hug for the holidays.

Santa was so great with the children and so photogenic! Highly recommend! Very professional and classy! If he is up for it, we would like to invite him back next year!"

"MAGICAL!!!!!!
We cried, happy Christmas tears and laughed so hard!!!! As said before, our kids can’t stop talking about it!"

"You CRUSHED it today Santa!!!!! We have had such an amazing last several days with our family …. and EVERYONE said you were the Icing on the Cake!!!   Do not have the words to convey our gratitude!!!"

"Everything was so awesome! You’re the best. "

"If you have not done it yet, book an appointment with Santa. Your grandchildren will have the most magical and memorable time. Ours have yet to stop talking about the experience. I happen to have his direct email and phone number. You won’t be disappointed!!!"
