Hawkeye teddy bears, Tortorich is also a
photography enthusiast. His camera is with him
at all Iowa events and his portfolio (captured from
his seat inside Kinnick Stadium) includes images
of Nate Kaeding, Abdul Hodge, Brian Ferentz,
Chad Greenway, Norm Parker, Drew Tate, Keith
Duncan, Josh Jackson, James Ferentz, Reese
Morgan, and of course, head coach Kirk Ferentz.
"I can see (coach Ferentz) is a family guy who
likes what he is doing and isn't just climbing a
ladder," Tortorich said.
Tortorich tries to make one or two trips to Iowa
City a year. He primarily attends football games
but has been in the stands for basketball at Carver-
Hawkeye Arena while omas was a student.
"I'm just a fan, my son went there and I'm
happy," Tortorich said. "No place is Heaven, but as
far as I'm concerned, there is something about the
University of Iowa that is pretty special."
