He taught at Central Valley High School in Redding, California, from 1976 to 1991 and coached its basketball team to the Division III state title in March 1989. He later served as the school's principal and became superintendent of the Gateway Unified School District in 2002, retiring in 2009. Strohmayer died in Redding on November 28, 2019.
