The Hale Family has lived in Heydon Hall for nearly a decade. Steve and Jennifer Hale, along  with their four children Max, Luke, Addie, and Zach, have fallen in love with Heydon Hall’s  warm and welcoming atmosphere. 

Steve Hale is originally from Eden, North Carolina, before he relocated to Charlotte in the early  2000s to work for Bank of America. Steve attended Wake Forest University, where he studied  Economics, Religion, and Philosophy while also playing on the football team. Steve currently  manages Hale Partnership, a private equity firm that invests in insurance, medical and  government real estate, and furniture. 

Jenn was raised in Wilmington, North Carolina, before attending North Carolina State University  and studying Biochemistry and Genetics. She furthered her education by earning her medical  degree from East Carolina University. Jenn works as a physician with Atrium Health. She  completed her General Surgery residency and followed that up with her Surgical Critical Care  fellowship, both at Atrium Health. 

When the Hales first moved into Heydon Hall, they had already had their first child, Max, and  Jenn was pregnant with their second child, Luke. Since then, they have welcomed Addie and  Zach into their family. 

Max, aged 11, loves to read and play soccer, chess, and golf. Nine-year-old Luke is described by  his mother as a renaissance man. He enjoys working out, gardening, crocheting, and is the best  helper around the house. You can find Luke in front of the neighborhood selling honey from the  Hale’s bees, which they keep in their backyard. The Hales have around 50,000 bees in a beehive  in their backyard. Their beehive gives the bees a safe home, which is important due to the bees’  crucial role in the environment. Max and Luke also both enjoy playing soccer at the Charlotte  Soccer Academy. 

Addie, 6, loves animals, including horses and cats, and loves doing gymnastics, riding horses,  dancing, and is currently learning the piano. Zach is the youngest at age 3. He is the wild man of  the family who loves to dance, laugh, and climb anything he can. Zach and Luke enjoy climbing  a large magnolia tree in their backyard, where they look for lizards and other interesting  creatures. 

All of the Hale children attend Anami Montessori School. Jenn was taught in a Montessori  school in her youth and has been fortunate to gift her children the same type of education she  was exposed to as a student.  

As a group, the Hale family loves to travel, garden, tend to the beehive, exercise, play chess, and  spend time with their family. Jenn’s sister and brother-in-law, Valerie and Chris Morris, live less  than a mile away and the kids love living so close to their cousins.  

As a family, the Hales have had the opportunity to learn about different cultures, languages, food,  history, and geography through their many incredible vacations. The entire family’s favorite  destination is Sea Island, Georgia. Sea Island is a mainstay on the calendar of the Hale Family,  and they return multiple times a year. Some of their favorite activities include relaxing walks on  the beach, shell hunting on the sands, watching stunning sunsets over the Georgia marshes, 

frequenting the Wonderland Candy Shoppe, boogie boarding, and family game night in the  cottage.  

Jenn and Steve love to take their own vacation to Blackberry Farm in Walland, Tennessee. The  farm is home to picturesque mountain views, extraordinary people, and delicious food. It is the  perfect getaway for them to reflect on their life and spend meaningful time together. 

One of their favorite travel stories occurred in a desert town outside Marrakech, Morocco, in  2019. The town was named Agafay, and the activity this time was a sunset camel ride. The  rolling sand hills of the Sahara stretched out for miles as the fiery red-orange sun set over the  desert. Another favorite spot is Sea Glass Beach in St. Kitts, where they collected sea glass along  with many other ocean treasures. 

While in Charlotte, the Hales have enjoyed watching the Panthers and Charlotte FC while also  rooting for their respective alma maters, Wake Forest and N.C. State. Jenn participates in the  neighborhood as the Chair of the Children’s Social Committee, where she and the other  committee members plan fun events for the children and grandchildren of Heydon Hall. The  Hale family is appreciative of the neighborhood events, especially the infamous “Movie Night on  the Green” event where the sprinklers went off mid-movie! 

Jenn and Steve are proud to raise their children in such a caring and thoughtful community. They  have met lots of wonderful families in Heydon Hall and appreciate the hard work the  homeowners association puts into keeping the neighborhood safe and beautiful.  

One of their passion projects is the Hale Family Foundation, which supports various  organizations in the Charlotte community. They have been fortunate to support Claire’s Army,  Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Hearts Without Borders, and Big Brothers Big Sisters. 

Steve, Jenn, Max, Luke, Addie, and Zach are looking forward to many more adventures in their  travels across the world and growing together in the tranquil serenity of Heydon Hall.
