A convention for children, family and corporate entertainers:  twisters, magicians, clowns, body artists, jugglers, etc.
Born and raised in San Jose, John has ridden
most of his life before finding out how much fun
it was to blow up things for kids in 2003.  Since
the summer of 2004, John has been a regular
working at many of the local farmers’ markets.

His first balloon convention was Balloon
Summer Camp 2003.  Since that time he has
attended several of the San Francisco bay
area's clown conventions, previous Learn and
Plays, 3 of the Arizona Diamond Jams, a trio of
“T-jams on the road”, and Twist & Shout. (As
well as being a fixture at most of the “Jams
around the Bay”.)

He has taught at Bay Area Stars’ “Jams
Deluxe”, at one of the local clown clubs and
privately.  

2010 marks his 7th summer of creating
balloons and entertaining kids at the markets
and his 7th year as a professional real bearded
Santa.  Ho Ho Ho!
