Post-Retirement
After leaving basketball in January 2000, Burge moved to Houston, TX after accepting a job as a press and media broadcasting intern for the WNBA's Houston Comets. She now lives with her husband, Patrick Horton, whom she married on September 29, 2001, and has two children, Jonathon (born 2004) and Holly (born 2007). Burge works as a physical therapist specializing in lower back injuries (which was inspired by her own career-ending lower back injury) and as a youth basketball instructor at various Houston-area camps including "Post University" and "Basketball Hoops School" and as a private coach.
At 6 feet 5 inches each, the pair were recognized in 1991 by Guinness World Records as the world's tallest female twins. This record was broken in 2004 by Ann and Claire Recht. The Disney television movie, Double Teamed, which was released in 2002, is based on their life stories and achievements in high school basketball. In the movie, Burge is played by actress Annie McElwain.
