About Santa Mark
Greetings and Salutations! My name is Mark Paulino. I have lived in Hamilton Square, NJ most of my 60+ years and spent 5 years living in Langhorne, PA. I graduated from Steinert High School, Mercer County Community College (AA), Trenton State College (BA), and The College of NJ (MAT). I began working with children in 1984 as a substitute teacher, then lifeguard/swimming instructor, and, lastly, as an contracted special education teacher in middle, high school and elementary school. I retired from teaching in 2021. My love of dogs has lead me to dog sitting/dog walking. Now I'm pursuing my lifelong wish to be Santa Claus.
​
I'm enjoying 20+ years of wedded bliss to my wife who is also an educator. We have two fine young men as sons. My hobbies include snowshoeing, hiking, biking, watching football, sitting by our woodfire, and listening to music. I visited Finnish Lapland (above the arctic circle) with my youngest son. We saw the northern lights (twice!), rode on a reindeer-pulled sleigh & dog sled, and did plenty of snowshoeing. I have appeared in the USA Today & Poughkeepsie, NY online papers for my love of snow and snowshoeing in NY State and on ESPN's College Gameday as a virtual fan. Please check out my Facebook page & contact me via email, text, or call if interested! Ho, Ho, Ho!

SANTA MARK IN HIS WORKSHOP
I love to take the time to stop for a break. My elves and I work long hours making toys for good girls and boys. Here are some new blocks I am excited to play with!
SANTA MARK SHOWING AMAZEMENT
I find this robot so funny and amazing. One of my favorite things to do is examining the toys my elves are working on. Then I make my suggestions, and we have a perfect toy!
