While dressed in the Red Santa suit during Holiday season, or during summer months, dressed in Santa's colorful vacation clothes, Santa-Ricky is the 'surprise guest' of a lifetime!

 Ricky brings his award winning photogenic Image, his love for Singing, his comic timing and his puppet buddy, 'Pierre the Polar Bear' to any public speaking venue. He encourages playtime between adult and child, inspiring parents to create barehanded 'tickle-puppets'! He's been featured in national TV commercials (Select Comfort Mattress, Earthlink, and Frigidaire). He's been booked by major retailers like Dick's Sporting Goods & Footsmart to grace their national stores, newspaper ads, billboards & web pages.

 As he speaks, Ricky leads you to his 'Old Kentucky Home', his Granny's back porch. Granny's 20 children engulfed Ricky, teaching him to 'entertain' via family laughter, love, jokes and singing talent shows! This heritage influenced his becoming a public speaker. Using his wit and puppetry, Ricky grants emotional-recess for adults re-visiting their own childhood 'porch'. Not everyone may have a perfect family home, so Ricky's chosen to challenge listeners in making the world a better place:

 Even if you are 'childless' now, (the kids are grown, or you weren't a parent), there are still kids in your life! Why not pursue a 'Hello sonny-I care about you' relationship with children in your neighborhood? You may live beside a neglected child. Perhaps you, as a caring neighbor in offering little Sally a 'Hello - how was school today?' or when you volunteer at the Library to read to children's groups, perhaps you'll become one of the kindest influences in the life of a needy child!

 Santa-Ricky thrives in 'delivering' Art and Humanity to audiences everywhere. You can look forward to his singing, his joking, and his mugging with funny puppets to remind your busy audiences to 'stop and smell the Roses' as they race through their busy lives. Ricky relates with and motivates audiences, as he discusses pursuing our personal dreams. Ricky pursued his dreams, and now he has a CAREER in the Hollywood TV market.

 When Ricky has finished warming up the crowd (even after a sleepy lunch break), your keynote speaker has an inspired, eager audience before them! And that's Santa-approved!
