Winter/Spring 2025 New Faces at PCO


Jana Casteel

Jana was born and raised in the small, rural west Texas town of Seymour (pop. 3,500), where we spent our time riding our bikes along country roads for miles, swimming anywhere there was a body of water, playing pickup games of basketball in the high school gym as often as we could, roller skating in the church gymnasium every Saturday afternoon, and watching movies at the local drive-in movie theater.

Jana currently resides in Tontitown, Arkansas, with her Shih Tzu (Gypsy). She holds a bachelor’s degree in Community Health Education from the University of Central Arkansas and a master’s degree in health services administration from the University of Arkansas in Little Rock. She has worked in healthcare finance in various capacities for 23+ years.

Her passions are spending time with her family and friends, traveling to warm and sunny places, and cheering on the Arkansas Razorbacks in any and all things. Woo Pig Sooie!


Wade Collins

Wade holds a B.A. in Anthropology from the University of Minnesota. As a student, he spent two field seasons in Copan Ruinas, Honduras, excavating its Hieroglyphic Stairway while a member of the Copan Mosaics Project. He has (unintentionally) swum with sharks, and can be seen acting, as an extra, alongside Nichols Cage in ‘The Weather Man’.

Before joining PCO, Wade worked for four years at OMRI as a Product Review Coordinator. He and his family currently live in Minnesota, where they share a house with their rescued pets.
