Classic Santa Gregory has over 35 years of experience interacting with children of all ages. During his nearly 40 years as a marketing executive for Fortune 1000 companies, he was proud to be a Cub Scout den leader, a youth basketball coach for both boys and girls, and a tee-ball and little league coach. Additionally, he was elected as Clinton Valley Little League President in 1992. Santa also retired from a decades-long career as a high school and collegiate baseball umpire. He unselfishly volunteered his time instructing and mentoring aspiring little league umpires. In the last ten years of his business career, in his unwavering concern for safety of children, he worked in the development of safety devices for football helmets.

Santa Gregory realizes the importance of a happy and well-balanced childhood, in being a part of helping children to believe in themselves and being involved in building confidence and self-esteem.  He understands that listening to children makes them feel all the more special and cultivates joy in their hearts. 
Santa Gregory has been involved in the continuing education and fellowship of professional Santas both locally and nationally and believes it is of paramount importance in portraying the most credible and magical Santa experience for children of all ages.  The twinkle in his blue eyes, his welcoming smile, and his jolly demeanor assures a memorable experience for both the children and their loved ones.
