SAN FRANCISCO – San Francisco athletics welcomes back one of its own, as alumnus and former baseball player Mike Brosnan will serve the department as the Associate Athletic Director of Facilities and Special Projects.
In his role on the Hilltop, Brosnan will be responsible for overseeing the day to day management of USF's athletic facilities and events, game operations, capital projects, camps and the Dons Honor Club.
"We are excited to bring Mike Brosnan back to the Hilltop," said USF Director of Athletics Scott Sidwell. "His vast experiences as an alumni and successful professional career were a perfect match for us as we continue to aim higher in all we do at USF. He brings an unmatched enthusiasm to our department and love for USF that will help continue to build the culture of winning at the highest level to our department. Mike represents all that is great about being a Don, and we welcome you home Mike."
Brosnan has spent the last three decades serving the community as a law enforcement officer. After playing two years of collegiate baseball for the Diamond Dons and graduating from USF in 1986, Brosnan joined the South San Francisco Police Department, where he served until 2015. He spent over six years as Police Captain and served for two years as the department's Deputy Chief of Police. For the past two years, Brosnan has coordinated the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office's human trafficking program.
Along with earning his Bachelor's Degree in Sociology on the Hilltop, Brosnan received a Master of Public Administration from Notre Dame de Namur in 2004, and is a graduate of several executive and leadership training programs, including the West Point Leadership Program.
"USF prepared me for a successful career in public service, and I am very excited and honored to be returning to the University of San Francisco Athletic Department," remarked Brosnan. "I believe in the vision Scott Sidwell has put into motion. I look forward to aiming higher with our student athletes and to living the four pillars of USF Athletics."
