TEAM LEADS AND ADMIN
NATE HOEFFEL
From Garrett Indiana, I have lived in Fort Wayne since 1989, working at D.O. McComb and Sons for 28 years. My wife Sara and I have three sons and a large Burmese Mountain Dog named Colt. My work life has always been driven by passions, purpose and enhanced outcomes.
SHELLEY SCHWAB
Everyone in Fort Wayne knows Shelley. Since taking this position in 2006, she spends most of her considerable energy calling everyone asking for their time to help out. Rarely does anyone say “No” because of her commitment to Littles, passion, and integrity.
NICOLE PENAR
A lifetime Fort Wayne resident, Nicole played golf and softball at Notre Dame College before graduating from Purdue with a degree in organizational leadership and supervision. She volunteers for many local non-profits, and she and husband Chris have daughter Madeline and son Henry and 2 dogs.
ALEX YANEY
Working at BBBS for almost six years, I am in charge of recruitment, customer relations and enrollment. Married to Andrew and mother of two fur babies, Golden Retrievers Cub and Winnie. Both of us are Bishop Luers graduates, and we love being a Big Couple and watching movies in our spare time.
BRIAN WALLACE
I am a graduate of IPFW and have worked at BBBS since 2015. I came to work at BBBS because I wanted to be a part of an organization that is making a difference in the community. I am from New Haven, a father of two and married to my high school sweetheart.
JACKIE MENARD
I moved to Fort Wayne from Connecticut in 2020 because my fiancé started working here. We love being outdoors, reading and swimming. A graduate of Eastern Connecticut State University with a major in communications, I love working for BBBS and being part of an amazing mission.
KAYLA WATKINS
I began working at BBBS at age 18 as I was inspired to give back to the agency because so much was given to me through the program. My Big showed me the true meaning of love through her constant support and encouragement. For that, I owe the agency as much as I can give.
JENNIFER SEXTON
I have a background in communications – partially due to my love of reading, partially due to my love of writing, but mostly due to my love of talking. When I’m not serving our BBBS kids, I might be found playing Legos with my son Desmond or taking a nap with my cat Michael Jackson.
TAHNEA CAYCE
A Fort Wayne native, I learned about BBBS from a neighbor who was a Big Brother. I saw the need for my children to have mentors and enrolled them in the program. Three years ago, I heard the CEO needed an assistant, and I’m still here smiling and loving my job more and more every day.
STACEY HAUPTSTUECK
Born and raised in Ft Wayne, I’ve spent my career working in commercial real estate and the steel and scrap industry. I’ve recently been blessed to join the BBBS team with the goal of connecting with the community and changing children’s lives. I have a daughter who lives in Chicago, and a son who serves in the US Navy and my husband and I have two adorable westies.
