Thanks for visiting my new web site.
This undertaking has been long overdue. With a recent reply from Dennis (aka sandslave) I knew I needed my own web site. Who do you call?? That was easy, sandy feet on South Padre Island. I lived on SPI for 15 years, longer than I lived anywhere else. Therefore, I now say “I’m from South Padre Island, at the very southern tip of Texas”.

We moved to Michigan to be closer to my wife’s family. We love it here and are building a home in New Haven, which is a little south east of Port Huron. My Talent Agent, Mary Fischioni at The Talent Shop has been wonderful along with the entire staff at booking me into some great gigs as Santa.

I still fly back down to South Padre Island each October for Sand Castle Days. This event was started by Amazin' Walter and sandy feet over fifteen years ago. Some of the world’s best sand sculptors come to SPI each year to compete on one of the best beaches in North America. Yes, it is known as a Spring Break destination, but October is the best month for weather and relaxation.

My hope is that this web site will pique your desire to employ my services as Big Wave Santa or Big Wave Dave.

I hope you enjoy my web site, please e-mail me any requests or comments. I look forward to hearing from you.
