A Denver, Colorado native, now a transplant to Fort Wayne, Santa in the Fort (AKA Santa Rick) has enjoyed life in the Summit City since the beginning of 2018. A jolly old soul even at the tender age of 4 months, he has always been enchanted by the wonder of Christmas and its unending wealth of glad tidings.

During the “off season”, trading the sleigh for a charter (tour) bus, Santa Rick delights in taking people all over the US for leisure and learning. But once those jingle bells start to ring again with the return of that wondrous season, he holds no greater joy than helping families create magical moments that will be remembered for years to come.

A proud graduate of the world’s oldest school for Santa, the *Charles W. Howard Santa Claus School, Santa Rick’s number one objective is to inspire others to keep the spirit and joy of Christmas in their hearts all year long!

*CWH Santa Claus School was established in 1937 by Macy’s very first Santa, Mr. Howard himself
