He is the founder and owner of Emmert International, an engineering and transport service company, the International Basketball League's Portland Chinooks and the Portland Thunder professional Arena Football League team. He is a 1962 graduate of Central Catholic High School. He has two children, Terry Michael Emmert, who is vice president of Emmert International, and Christine Vessey, the Vice President of Multrec Corporation.

Emmert's company, Emmert International, is an asset-based engineered transport, rigging, and structural relocation service company based out of Clackamas, Oregon. The company specializes in the most massive and heavy-hauling and rigging projects in the world moving everything from houses to airplane engines.

An avid sports fan, Emmert began dabbling in the world of professional sports. In 2002, he and his close friend former Portland Trail Blazers legend Clyde Drexler worked on finalizing a deal to purchase the Portland Fire of the WNBA after that franchise had three bad seasons under the ownership of then (and current) Blazers owner Paul Allen. Unfortunately, Drexler, Emmert and the WNBA could not come to a deal to finalize the sale of the franchise and it eventually folded.
