the SANTA DAVE
"What makes me your number one guy? It's not my platinum colored beard. It's not my suave Santa suit. It's not my pimped out Santa sleigh and my gang of reindeer. It's not my high tech toy studio in the North pole that will put Jeff Bezos to shame. It's me giving you a REAL authentic look and experience."

*SANTA DAVE BIO*

DAVE SORRELS
Daring to be different, David (Dave) Sorrels (born September 29, 1965) known as Santa Dave, is a Marine Corps Veteran, an American Santa Claus portrayal artist based in Southeast Texas who has appeared in hundreds of personal appearances. In 2010, David was approached by a friend to portray Santa Claus for a Cub Scout Pack in California. He agreed to do this with a fake beard and fake hair with a not so perfect Santa Suit. It was so great to see little believers’ eyes light up as they came over to take photos. David decided to grow his beard out and see what it would really be like with a beard and his own hair. Moving back to Texas in 2012, Dave decided to whiten his hair and beard to see how it would look. Not knowing there was a Santa already in the mall, Dave had store managers ask him why he was not on the Santa set. The local mall Santa set manager ran him down and asked if he ever portrayed Santa. Once he told her yes, she immediately asked him if he would like to work as a mall Santa. Dave agreed and the journey began as "Santa Dave". Santa Dave has been going 10 years strong in accepting numerous paid engagements along with making volunteer appearances. He has even attended the International University of Santa Claus to learn the ins and outs of the business (yes, this is real). Many people of all ages from kids, to teens, to adults often stop Dave (as himself) to take photos wherever he is, thus giving him the desire to portray Santa Dave year-round. During this time, he has been blessed to put smiles on the faces of people of all ages. Santa Dave has been a part of days old baby photos in the hospitals, special needs children, breaking barriers of kids with Autism...and even the occasional phone call made at the request of a parent to a son or daughter who hasn't been "quite so nice". Most would say Santa Dave impacted the lives of others, but really it was all of them who impacted Santa Dave’s life. Santa Dave is currently represented by Upward Artistry Talent Agency in Houston, TX as he strives to be in movies, TV shows, and commercials. He also desires to work with the Houston Astros, Rockets, Dynamo, and Texans along with major corporations and organizations. The goal of Santa Dave is to bring joy to everyone worldwide.
