Steinke is an elementary school teacher, children’s book author, and cartoonist. His work covers the reflective, the absurd and the humorous. His newest book, “Big Plans,” is a collection of his comics and stories ranging from the fear of terrorism, alcoholism, and a shooting at the mall to the Academy Awards.
