Steven Haal
Director of Communications
My heritage is Scottish, and I'm a student of the world. I love travelling, and immersing myself in different cultures, learning to see that culture the way its natives do. My happy place is high in the mountains (I've climbed part of Mt. Everest and summitted Kilimanjaro) or on the beach with great friends and family--and food--cuisine is a serious hobby!
For 15+ years I've been directing, designing and consulting on all things creative and communications/marketing with agencies, non-profits, churches, banks, Broadway presenters, and more--and I'm glad to add Saint Michael to the list! It's such an honor to work with the team here, shoulder to should with quality, passionate leaders and parishioners.
I'm also an opera guy: I've sung nearly 70 productions, including the world premier of Heggie's "Moby Dick" with The Dallas Opera and others.
Reach out with any questions or just to say hello!
