He underwent hip replacement surgery in early December, 2008 for a congenital hip problem, but was back competing by late January 2009.

Tetrick's colors are green and gold. He is also recognizable on the track by the bright yellow wheels on the sulky he drives. He has been a resident of Runnemede, New Jersey.[5] In the last 10 years he is considered one of the worst drivers in Harness racing based inconsistent and lack of effort drives.
