Schemmel has been a guest on several national television programs, including "48 Hours," "CBS This Morning," "The Today Show," "Good Morning America," and "The Oprah Winfrey Show." Schemmel rode a bicycle across the United States as a fundraiser for two Denver area charities.

He also works for Metro State University as a part-time assistant baseball coach, and serves as the radio voice of the Billings Mustangs.
