Prue is an author and educator from Upstate New York. He and his wife struggled with infertility, going through two rounds of IVF, two miscarriages, and three embryo transfers before the birth of their first daughter. That experience inspired him to write "The IVF Dad: What I Learned on My Infertility Journey, and How it Can Help You," to help other men and couples going through fertility issues feel more informed, empowered, and equipped to support themselves and each other. In his spare time, Keegan enjoys cooking (grilled greek chicken and veggies are a current favorite), traveling (on the bucket list: the Scottish highlands, Tuscany, and New Zealand), and spending time with his family.
