Steve Johnston

Policy, Complaint, and Special Project Manager

Steve is an alumnus of the University of Aberdeen, Scotland and is originally from Northern Ireland. He has over 20 years’ experience as an investigator, including crime scenes, major crime, and financial crime, in the UK. 

He moved to California in 2018 and after almost two years at UCSF investigating privacy incidents and potential HIPAA violations, he moved to DAC at UC Berkeley in October 2020. 

As well as reviewing allegations (by students, staff, faculty, and visitors) of discrimination based on disability, and dealing with any issues of concern, he is available to give presentations or discuss the work of DAC and how our Department can assist you and your department in being compliant with the ADA.

When not working, Steve enjoys golf, cooking, hiking, fishing, and expanding his vinyl collection.
