Hajek was hired in November 2015 and spent the 2015-16 season recruiting the first class of student-athletes. The Mountain Lions compete at their on-campus home, Mountain Lion Park, under the shadow of Pulpit Rock on a site with 360-degree of views of Colorado Springs, Pikes Peak and the Front Range. Hajek played professional baseball for 10 years, including 1995-96 for the Houston Astros as an infielder. He also played within the organizations of the Detroit Tigers, San Diego Padres and Colorado Rockies, ending his career as a member of the Colorado Springs Sky Sox in 1999. He was also a three-time Pacific Coast League All-Star. Hajek started coaching in 2004 with the Asheville Tourists, the Class A affiliate of the Rockies. He was a hitting coach for 11 seasons and infield coordinator for one year, which involved working with all Rockies minor league infielders, which included current Rockies Gold Glove infielders Nolan Arenado and DJ LeMahieu. Hajek also has been a private instructor for the last 20 years in Colorado Springs. He has been a featured speaker at the Colorado State High School Baseball Coaches Convention three times and spoke at the European Baseball Coaches Convention in Prague in 2011.
