Weinstock was the architect that transformed the Gallaudet Athletics Department into what it is today after serving as its Athletic Director (AD) for 11 years (2007-18). Gallaudet's athletic department went from five full-time staff members when Weinstock started as AD to 19, and introduced the use of graduate assistants to help bolster team-coaching staffs and give experience to many deaf and hard of hearing students. Weinstock helped to overhaul Gallaudet's athletic facilities and helped the athletic teams find a home in the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) in 2009 and joined the NEAC, a year later, in 2010 after being a founding member of the CAC. During its time in the NEAC, Gallaudet won 11 combined conference championships in women's volleyball (7), men's swimming (3) and women's swimming (1) to go along with several NEAC regular-season championships. Gallaudet's football team won the 2013 ECFC championship and became the first GU men's team in school history to reach the NCAA tournament. Bison athletic teams made nine NCAA tournament appearances while several individuals made NCAA tournament appearances in track and field. Gallaudet garnered hundreds of all-conference awards during Weinstock's tenure to go along with NEAC Player, Rookie and Coach of the Year honors and other Academic All-American and All-American honors and a ton of national media press.
