A native of Long Island, N.Y., Imperati came to Lawrence from Bowie State University in Maryland, where he served as Senior Associate Athletic Director for Compliance and Equipment Management.
Imperati brings a wealth of athletic administrative experience to Lawrence. He has worked at Bowie State since January 2020. Imperati supervised all aspects of the NCAA Division II compliance program at Bowie State and coordinated the recruitment activities of prospective student-athletes with head coaches. He also worked with the office of Enrollment Management to maximize institutional resources and manage and maintain all equipment inventory for the department.
Imperati worked with Bowie State Vice-President of Athletics and Recreation Clyde Doughty Jr., at New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) from 2010-15 where he served as the Athletics Compliance Officer. Imperati oversaw all Division I and II compliance matters as well as the Athletic Department Scholarship Budget for all 12 NCAA-sponsored programs at NYIT.
Imperati worked at the University of the District of Columbia from 2015-20 as the Associate Athletic Director for Internal Operations. In addition to managing the operational budget for the department, he was the project manager for a $1.5 million gymnasium renovation in 2019. Doughty then brought Imperati to join him at Bowie State in 2020.
The road to Lawrence began for Imperati as a student at Farmingdale (N.Y.) State College, where he earned a bachelor's degree in management technologies in 2007.
