While at UMKC, Mohajir was responsible for a 450 percent increase in the educational athletics endowment. He oversaw and 80 percent increas4e in sponsorships and an 89 percent upswing in the athletics fund donor base. There was also a 33 percent increase in ticket revenue under his direction. One of his more visible accomplishments was leading the fundraising and construction efforts for a new training room and strength and conditioning center.

Prior to working at UMKC, Mohajir was a football ticket sales and promotions account executive for the University of Kansas from 1996-97, and was an assistant offensive line and game-day special team's football coach for the Jayhawks from 1993-96. Mohajir graduated from Arkansas State with a major in sports management and a minor in marketing in 1993, where he was a starter on the football team.
