It is at BU where Kath met his wife. The couple are now proud parents of two daughters and also have a mischievous adopted mutt named Pancake.
On the weekends, you’ll find Kath on the sidelines coaching his daughters or chasing down his misguided soccer aspirations in the New England over-the-hill league.
