Personal Life
Schmid lives in Bellevue, Washington during the season. His wife Valerie lives in the couple's home in California. They have four children: Erik, Kurt, Kyle, and Lacey. Kurt played soccer at Wake Forest and UCLA, and has been an assistant coach at St. Mary's College and UC Irvine. He is currently an assistant coach for Sounders FC. Kyle has played as a defender at UC Irvine and was in the USL Premier Development League with Orange County Blue Star. Schmid has rarely missed game days in the MLS, but took time off for Lacey and Kurt's weddings and Kurt's college graduation. Schmid's younger brother, Roland, lives in the Seattle area, and having family in the area was one of the factors which persuaded Schmid to accept the job at Seattle.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Bondage is the life of personality, and for bondage the personal self will fight with tireless resourcefulness and the most stubborn cunning.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“To suppose such a thing possible as a society, in which men, who are able and willing to work, cannot support their families, and ought, with a great part of the women, to be compelled to lead a life of celibacy, for fear of having children to be starved; to suppose such a thing possible is monstrous.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
