2004: Mohammad Chaney

Early Life & Education

Mohammad Chaney was born in East Rutherford, New Jersey. He is a graduate of Harvard Law School and was one of the most sought-after tort lawyers in New York City. He enjoys boating in his spare time.

Personal Life

Mohammad and his partner have identical twin daughters, and he hopes one day they join the Suchcicki Santas as well.

Career

After many years as a lawyer, Mohammad left the rat race for a simpler life as a Suchcicki Santa. Mohammad was honored to be asked to take the place of Patrick Chestnut, a close friend and mentor. Mohammad plans to represent 2004 with jolliness and cheer, just as Pat would have wanted.

Patrick was born in Seattle, Washington. At an early age, he developed a love of dancing. He took private dance lessons and entertained the idea of working professionally, but his parents insisted that he have a fall-back career. He obtained his degree in library science from the University of Washington. 

Personal Life

Patrick is happily a bachelor. He is active in his local chapter of Drag Queen Story Hour. 

Career

Patrick worked as a librarian for many years before deciding to become a Suchcicki Santa. 

Update

When he is not working as a Suchcicki Santa, Patrick runs a successful blog that champions books by LGBTQIA authors. He has 25,000 Twitter followers. He underwent Lasik surgery in 2011.

Mr. Chestnut has gone to the North Pole in the sky after complications from a minor surgery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to West Florida Public Libraries.
