For the past 11 years, Roberson has served as the director of athletic facilities and in October 2008, he was promoted to the assistant director of athletics. Roberson oversees transportation, strength and conditioning, the athletic trainers as well as the maintenance and daily operations of the Van Dyne Gym, the Lancer Outdoor Athletics Complex, the Bob and Dorothy Pentz Tennis Complex, the soccer complex and the Fitness Center.

Also, in the summer of 2012, Roberson played a key role in the development and implementation of the Lancers' new ticketing system for athletic events, and he oversaw the construction of new athletic offices for baseball, men's and women's volleyball and the Lancers' transportation supervisor.

In 2005, he facilitated the renovation of the Van Dyne Gym, which included new paint, bleachers and the implementation of courtside phone and internet lines as well as a new floor. In 2007, he played a key role in the renovation of the multi-million dollar Lancer Outdoor Athletics Complex, which includes the John C. Funk Softball Stadium and James W. Totman Baseball Stadium and is rapidly earning a reputation as one of the finest baseball/softball complexes in the nation.

Roberson has coordinated all NAIA, GSAC and other postseason competitions hosted by CBU, which include the 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 NAIA Region II Softball Championships, the 2006 and 2007 NAIA Men’s Volleyball National Invitational Tournaments as well as NAIA National Championship Opening Round Tournament for women's soccer in 2008-09-10, baseball in 2010-11 and men's soccer in 2010.

Since his arrival at California Baptist University in 1999, Roberson has been involved in nearly every operational aspect of Lancer athletics, serving as an assistant coach, equipment manager, ticket manager, camp scheduler, assistant to the athletic director, game management coordinator and bus driver. 

Roberson began his CBU tenure as an assistant to mentor and former head baseball coach Paul Kumamoto for two seasons (1999, 2000). During those two seasons, the Lancers went 50-46, finishing third in the GSAC in 2000 and qualifying for the NAIA Region II Playoffs.

In 2001, Roberson was placed in charge of the Van Dyne Gym as well as game management. There, he created and implemented the current game management staffing system, which is widely regarded as one of the best game management operations in the GSAC.

Roberson was named CBU Employee of the Year in 2004. In 2005, he was given the responsibility for all of the athletic facilities and athletic events, and in 2008, Roberson served as an adjunct professor of kinesiology at CBU.
