He now teaches creative writing at Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor, MI; the college ran a feature story on Obrecht last year. They’ve also posted a video interview with Obrecht on YouTube, where he talks about playing basketball with EVH and then interviewing him long before he became the guitar god he is today:
