I am beginning my 22^nd year teaching Communication Arts at Steger. I received degrees in English and Sociology from Mizzou and a Master’s in Education from Washington University. I’ve been a professional drummer and percussionist for a long time. Sometime in January, the band goes into a recording studio. I also just published my first novel in the summer of 2012.  My wife, Anne Molasky Ibur, is a professional painter of portraits & landscapes.  We have two teenage daughters, Bella and Lily, both singer-songwriters.
