He served in several positions in shared governance, including Chair of the Senate's Faculty Affairs Committee and Chair of the Senate Executive Committee. He joined the HCLAS Dean's Office in 2001 and served until 2021 as Associate Dean for Budget and Planning, interrupted by a stint as Associate Provost for Budget and Planning from 2007 through 2009.
