Stromme enters his first season as head coach at St. Olaf in 2007-08. He is a 1983 graduate of St. Olaf and was most recently the interim head women's coach at the University of Minnesota-Duluth, helping the Division II Bulldogs to a 15-14 record and trip to the NCC playoff semifinals.

Prior to last season he spent four years at University of Minnesota helping the Golden Gophers to a 95-37 (.742) record and four trips to the NCAA Tournament including a Final Four appearance in 2003-04 and two Sweet Sixteen showings. His primary responsibilities with Minnesota were post players and defense. He also organized the scout team and helped recruiting efforts.

Last year's stint at UMD was the second for Stromme, who was the top assistant for his older sister Karen for 17 seasons from 1985-02. In that time, the Bulldogs were 370-159 (.703) and advanced to the 13 national tournaments - the NCAA's five times and the NAIA's eight times.

Stromme was also on staff with the Bulldog football program as assistant offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach from 1993-98 and taught a variety of courses in the physical education department.

Stromme is a native of Duluth, Minn. He and his wife Stephany have three children: Ella (10), Anja (8) and Andrew (3).
