Asquini has been a dedicated member of the TMU Athletics & Recreation team for nearly 20 years, serving in progressively senior roles. Most recently, he was Director, Sport Operations, where he played a central role in supporting TMU's high-performance programs. His leadership portfolio has spanned intramurals, aquatics, recreation and competitive clubs, and varsity operations.
Beyond campus, Asquini has made significant contributions to university sport in Ontario and across Canada. He served on the OUA Sport Committee (2014–2018), is currently a member of the OUA Sport Model Task Force, and co-represents Ontario on the U SPORTS Eligibility Committee.
