Tell us about your family: “My wife is Tammy and we actually had a little boy four months ago named Isaac. I have a cold because of him right now (laughing). It’s everything everyone said it would be, but it is interesting. Brian Elliott got married this past Saturday and it was great seeing some of the guys, but I went home at 10:30 p.m. with my wife. I can’t function right now. I’m going on five hours sleep for four months straight, so it’s a little bit of a battle. But it is cool to see his little personality coming out and little things that look like myself or look like my wife.”
Catch us up on what you have been doing since graduation: “Other than work (at Baker Tilly in Madison), I’ve done a little coaching. I’ve coached a few AAA traveling teams in the first two or three years. I did it with A.J. Degenhardt for a little while, but then he moved. I did it one year with Kent Davyduke. The last two winters I’ve been an assistant coach at Waunakee High School. I like kids and it is a nice way to give back a little bit, get out on the ice and pass on things that you’ve learned.”
What is your best memory of being a student-athlete at Wisconsin? “Winning the 2006 NCAA championship, of course. Getting together with some of the guys, wheth- er at a wedding or wherever and kind of having mini-reunions is fun to remember the old times.” NOW
