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 related to personal life:
“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters ‘woman’s peculiar sphere,’ her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
