He is a member of Beta Theta Pi at Colgate University.

He was born without a fibula,[1] and has had a prosthetic leg his entire life. He has since upgraded to a metal prosthetic, as shown in the Broken Lizard stand-up special, where the other members of the comedy troupe hit his leg with various items, including a metal baseball bat, a hammer, and 2 large pink dildos. Since his movie career started picking up with "Super Troopers", he has done talks at various venues about his life growing up without a leg, and how he overcame said adversity. He was captain of his baseball team in grade school. He was also featured in the original P90X workout series' plyometrics segment.
