Butch Reimer is in his second year as the Green Bay Nordic Ski coach. After an eight-year respite from coaching collegiate Nordic skiing and a four-year hiatus from the Green Bay athletics department, Butch returned to coaching last year.

From 1988 to 2002, Reimer served as a mentor for Green Bay student-athletes. He spent nine seasons as the Nordic ski head coach from 1988-98. Reimer also had a six-season stint as Green Bay's head softball coach from 1996-2002, where he compiled a 104-150 record.

Reimer arrived at Green Bay for the 1988-89 season. In taking over the two-year-old program, he boosted the squad into national prominence. During his nine years at the helm, 29 men and women skiers qualified for the NCAA Championships. In addition, Reimer posted two regional championships and two conference titles.

His expertise in Nordic skiing was recognized in 1995 when he was selected as one of three coaches to assist the United States at the World University games in Jacai, Spain.

As the head coach for the Green Bay softball squad, Reimer also led the Phoenix to three straight conference tournament title games, including the team's runner-up finish in 2000 when Green Bay posted a then-program best 27-15 record. The native of Green Bay served as the head coach for both the softball and Nordic ski teams for two seasons, from the fall of 1996 to the spring of 1998.

Reimer currently works as the director of buildings and grounds for the Pulaski Community School District. He and his wife, Jill, have two children: Jake, 19, and Hannah, 16.
