Stewart joined LBCC on July 1, 2021 as Interim Athletic Director after spending the last 13 years at Riverside City College as Director of Compliance and Acting Director of Athletics.

During his tenure, RCC won seven state titles in football, men's track and field, men's cross country, women's water polo, and men's golf. The Tigers also earned third, seventh, and 15th place finishes in the NAATYCA Learfield Cup.

"I consider accountability, collaboration, and transparency as cornerstones of my leadership," Stewart said. "I will take concrete action to continually increase goodwill between faculty, coaches, student-athletes, administrators, and stakeholders, both college and community-wide. Altogether, I plan to leverage my expertise, strategic planning, and partnerships with the city of Long Beach's incredible supportive community to further enrich Long Beach City College's historic athletic department and its long-standing reputation as one of the premier athletic and academic programs in the state."

At Riverside, Stewart annually enhanced academic support for over 500 student-athletes in the college's 18 CCCAA sponsored sports, nearing a cumulative department GPA just shy of 3.0. He spearheaded an initiative to improve educational outcomes for student-athletes, known today as the TIGERS Academic Advisement Program. By the end of the fifth year, the program had annually increased degrees and certificates awarded by 21 percent, number of transfers and GPA achieved by 2.5 percent, and overall transfer average by 47 percent, which is almost three-times that of the non-athlete population. 

Stewart has been very active at the conference and state level, helping co-found the Association of California Community College Eligibility Specialists (ACCCES) in 2017 and serving as the inaugural president of the association. He also has served on the CCCAA Management Council, Equity and Inclusion Committee, and the Orange Empire Conference (OEC) secretary.
