Since arriving in Grand Forks, Chaves has put his distinct stamp on the present and the future of UND Athletics both on-and-off the field.
Other facilities have sprung to life under Chaves’ tenure, with the construction and opening of The Hyslop at Memorial Village, The Fieldhouse at Memorial Village, the Nodak Insurance Company Sports Performance Center and Albrecht Field as well as upgrades to Choice Health and Fitness, Bronson Field and Ray Richards Golf Course through a facilities master plan that was launched in 2022.
The classroom has shined under Chaves as well, with the department posting a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average in each semester since his arrival and multiple programs continually setting records for GPA.

Chaves also oversaw the creation of Student-Athletes for Inclusion & Diversity (UND SAID) organization in 2020 as a student driven organization to foster an inclusive and welcoming campus environment.
The SAID executive board will prioritize education, outreach, engagement and support for all spectrums of diversity, inclusion and equity.
The organization was most recently nominated for a leadership award on campus in 2023.
“I would like to thank [UND] President [Mark] Kennedy and the search committee for this tremendous opportunity.
I am deeply honored to have been selected to serve as UND’s next Athletics Director.
My family and I are excited to become active members of the UND family and the Grand Forks community, both of which we have heard so much about.
Chaves was honored in 2015-16 for the second time by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) as one of 28 winners of the Under Armour AD of the Year Award (ADOY).
As one of four athletic directors in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision to be honored, he received his award during the James J. Corbett Awards Luncheon on June 15, 2016, at NACDA's 51st Annual Convention at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas, Texas.
Highlighted by the installation of the first-ever red synthetic surface in America, the tenure of Chaves at EWU was been punctuated by progress and innovation - but with a definite eye toward the future.
He played an integral role in advancing an overall athletics facility vision for the department.
In 2015, Chaves was appointed to the NCAA Division I Council representing the Big Sky Conference, and served for three years.
Recently, Chaves was the only Division I athletic director to serve on the 2-year NCAA Governance Working Group as requested by the NCAA’s Board of Directors.
In addition, Chaves served four years (2008-12) on the NCAA Administration Cabinet and in his last year served as chair.
Within the Big Sky Conference, Chaves served on the league’s Vision and Coordination Working Group.
Chaves came to Eastern after three years as an associate athletic director for external affairs at Baylor University.
The high point of Eastern’s existence in NCAA Division I and the Big Sky Conference came under the direction of Chaves.
Eastern’s football program won its final 11 games of the 2010 season and captured the NCAA Division I Championship.
It was Eastern’s fourth national team title, but its first as a member of NCAA Division I.
He provided the initial idea and was a driving force in having Eastern’s football field at Roos Field (formerly Woodward Field) re-surfaced in red.
Besides the turf project, his tenure in Cheney, Wash., included several key fund-raising initiatives to help the athletic department grow and keep pace with other NCAA Division I programs.
Most recently, as part of a $1.1 million project, EWU installed a new videoboard/scoreboard at Roos Field and a new videoboard at Reese Court.
Eastern also completed a $1.5 million locker-room project that enhanced all of Eastern’s 14 athletic programs.
In addition, membership in the Eagle Athletic Association reached a record milestone with more than 2,000 members.
Also lucrative for Eastern was his negotiating and scheduling of football games against several NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision schools, including Washington, Washington State, Oregon State and Oregon.
In the community, Chaves made regular speaking engagements, including Kiwanis and Rotary, was a current member of the Spokane Athletic Club and Rotary Club 21 (Spokane).
Eastern’s success on the field and in the classroom was also impressive.
In the 2009-10 school year, Eastern won its first Big Sky Presidents’ Cup Award.
The winner of this award is determined by overall athletic success combined with team grade point averages, graduation rates, and all-conference performers with grade point averages of at least 3.0.
Eastern earned multiple Big Sky Player of the Year honors during his EWU tenure, and the football team garnered two Walter Payton Award winners (Bo Levi Mitchell and Cooper Kupp) and two Buck Buchanan Awards (J.C. Sherritt and Greg Peach).
In addition, five EWU coaches won Coach of the Year honors in the Big Sky Conference - Miles Kydd (volleyball), Wendy Schuller (women’s basketball), Darren Haworth (tennis) Beau Baldwin (football) and Jim Hayford (men’s basketball).
EWU’s football program had seven playoff berths in an 11-year span (2007-17) under Chaves.
Under Chaves’ leadership, the men’s basketball team made their second all-time appearance in the NCAA tournament in 2015 by virtue of winning the Big Sky Tournament in Missoula, Mont.
His first year at the helm at EWU began with the football team finishing 9-4 and advancing to the quarterfinals of the 2007 NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs.
Chaves has also served on the Big Sky Conference Championship and Competition Committee since 2008, including as chair from 2010-12.
Chaves was also sports information director from 1990-95 at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn.
Chaves received his bachelor’s degree in sports administration from Saint Thomas University in Miami Gardens, Fla., in 1988.
