Immerfall was born in Madison, Wisconsin, and started competing locally at a very young age.[clarification needed] When he was 20, Immerfall won bronze at the 1976 Winter Olympics of Innsbruck on the 500 m. One month later, he won silver at the World Sprint Championships behind Swedish skater Johan Granath, though Granath did not win on any of the four distances, while Immerfall won both 500 m races. Immerfall was inducted in the National Speedskating Hall of Fame in 1987.
As of 2007[update], Immerfall was a head referee for the International Skating Union. He has two children, Ben and Abby, who are both competitive swimmers.
