He and his wife, Martha, and their two children have to adjust to their new lifestyle, not only in terms of income but in terms of their social standing within the community and the academic environment. Of course, his wife Martha sees herself as Steen’s discerning critic and then there’s Professor Grundheim who seems to think it’s his life purpose to inform Steen what a president should do and how to do it. Meanwhile, Steen is just trying to assume his new role and new identity without losing his mind!
Read what people are saying about Prexy:
"Last night I read PREXY from cover to cover; it is a good read, fun, lively, and for those of us who have lived through it, believable! More than that, PREXY offers carefully crafted insights about leadership, its travails and triumphs, its impact on person and family. There are two ironies to boot: First, while PREXY focuses on the 'rookie' year, the fact is that every presidential year (including this, my 17th) is filled with the same serious academic work, unexpected events, and colorful personalities that make the academy a wonderful home. Second, while PREXY never says it directly, the vocation of president is a gift; a gift because the mission of every college is precious, the dream of every student so important, and the work as leaders is not work, it is calling!" --Loren J. Anderson, President, Pacific Lutheran University

This heartwarming, humorous tale reads like a journal from inside the mind of a young man beginning a challenging position of leadership over a 20 plus year period. He is regularly tested, challenged, criticized, and changed as he matures in his professional and personal life. The characters are rich and complex, the dialogue sharp and intelligent, and the story universally appealing.
