Santa Kevin first learned how to be a Professional Santa Claus in September of 2022 when he attended the Professional Santa Claus School (PSCS) in Denver Co. Shortly after, Santa Kevin began making personal appearances and his Professional Santa Claus Career began. Like any school, of course, a school can only teach the basics. True mastery does not come from the classroom alone but from real world experience.  The next phase of learning is actually “Becoming Santa” by Portraying Santa in person at an event.  

Although Santa Kevin was well on his way, he knew that Portraying Santa was not very different from other professions in that training and career development never ends.  With that in mind, in May 2023, Santa Kevin Joined the Worldwide Santa Claus Network (WSCN) School. It is a Virtual School through Zoom led by Santa Ed Taylor, aka Santa Ed, one of the most recognized, influential, and respected Santas there are.  Santa Ed allows the students to view the classes over and over as often as necessary. Initially, there is a series of 9 Core Curriculum classes which are necessary to receive a certificate.   However, the beauty of the school is that it consists of Continuous Professional Development Training for approximately one- and one-half hours per week, every week. Each week a different topic is presented and discussed.  Additionally, on the first Monday of the month, there is sort of an open forum class which gives the participants a chance to bring up any related subject that may be on their minds. Just like the 9 Core Curriculum Classes, these weekly sessions can be viewed repeatedly. These sessions are enhanced by the fact that you don’t only get the advantage of Santa Ed’s knowledge and experience but the knowledge and experience of many other Santa’s that are part of the sessions.  Those Santas have experience from a few months up to forty years.

In March of 2024, Santa Kevin attended the Master Claus Academy which was an Advanced Training Course in Reynoldsburg, Ohio sponsored by The Ohio Santas.

All this training helps Santa Kevin stay abreast of developments and new ideas throughout the industry. It helps to ensure that Santa Kevin provides the best possible Santa experience.

As you see, Sants Kevin takes the role of Portraying Santa Claus seriously and recognizes the tremendous responsibility of spreading the joy and magic of Christmas to children, tweens, adults, and Senior Citizens alike.  Santa Kevin wants everyone to always believe. Santa Kevin knows that becoming Santa is much more than Ho! Ho! Ho! and a few pictures. Santa Kevin’s goal is to bring the magic of Christmas to life for you. Santa Kevin considers it an honor to Portray one the most loved, recognized, and revered individuals known, and he would consider it an honor to Portray Santa for you.
