Tiegs earned a bachelor’s degree in Communications-Public Relations with a minor in Business Administration from Indianapolis.

Tiegs continued his playing career for two years after college. He played in the independent Frontier League with the Evansville Otters in 2009. He signed with the Oakland County Cruisers in 2010 but his season ended early due to an injury.
