Ever wonder where your co-workers are headed at the end of the day? This Inside feature catches up with university employees "after five." Photo by Gary Clarke.

Name: Keith Bystrom
By day, he's: Assistant counsel, Office of University Counsel
After five, he's: Referee and president, Ames Soccer Club
Keeps clear of contempt: "By chatting with all the parents at halftime. This is a way I can educate them about the rules of the game and answer their questions."
Overrules their objections: "When their kids get older and they think they know the game. It gets a bit more contentious."
Begs for the bench: "During two-day tournaments when it's snowing and raining, your clothes are wet and your feet are frozen. By the end of the day, you're ready for the hot tub."
