Michael Sonntag is enjoying his latest stint – as the Communications Coordinator for St. Margaret of Scotland. Prior to joining the team at SMOS, Michael spent 25-years working in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles, CA as a film/tv/theatre producer, casting director, teacher, and actor, before moving halfway across the country to the greener pastures of St. Louis, MO to become a full-time Dad in Chief to his three little kids. In Hollywood, Michael founded and ran two businesses – as Executive Director of the non-profit One World Stage & Screen, and as President of Studio C Artists, a production, casting, and arts education company; worked as an independent producer in film and television; produced 35 theatrical shows; cast numerous commercials for clients such as Southwest Airlines, Intel, NFL Networks, Cisco, TV Land, Walt Disney Studios, and the U.S. Army; coached hundreds of actors for film/tv projects; racked up a handful of actor credits himself; and served as President of the Mid-City Neighborhood Council for the City of Los Angeles. Michael now spends most of his time in his most important role yet – that of Dad to his young, rambunctious family. He also currently works as a general contractor on the extensive gut-restoration of their 125 year old historic home, serves as President of the Compton Heights Neighborhood Betterment Association, and acts as President for the SMOS PTA (because he doesn’t spend enough time around St. Margarets already). If there’s any spare time left, Michael enjoys cooking, throwing lots of parties, and watching anything on TCM.
