I am a retired, highly decorated Police Officer with over 31 years of dedicated service, earning multiple Medals of Honour throughout my distinguished career. Now embracing a joyful second calling, I have transformed my lifelong commitment to community service into the role of a Professional Santa Claus, bringing warmth, laughter, and holiday magic to people of all ages.

A proud graduate of the Worldwide Santa Claus Network, I combine professionalism, compassion, and storytelling skills to create authentic and memorable experiences for children, families, and seniors alike. My extensive background includes working closely with early childhood education programs, schools (from primary through post-secondary), and assisted living and nursing home communities—ensuring every visit is filled with kindness and respect.

I am also a familiar face with various community and service organizations across Ontario, including the Optimist Clubs, Lions Clubs, Kiwanis, Rotary Clubs, and the Canadian Make-A-Wish Foundation, where my cheerful spirit continues to brighten lives and inspire goodwill.

With a Vulnerable Sector Check and Criminal Records Check completed, I bring professionalism, safety, and integrity to every engagement. Whether sharing stories with wide-eyed children or spreading joy among seniors, I truly embody the heart and spirit of Santa Claus—spreading joy and celebrating the spirit of giving and generosity throughout the holiday season.
