Prior to his stint at Winthrop, he was the recruiting coordinator and hitting coach at Southeastern (Iowa) Community College in 2008 and 2009. He helped lead the team to 76 wins in his two campaigns, and his hitters ranked in the Top 30 nationally in batting average both seasons. The 2009 team set a school-record for wins (41) and ranked in the NJCAA top 10.
Stanek began his coaching career at his alma mater, Duquesne University. He served as volunteer assistant during the 2007 spring season before being elevated to an assistant coach in August 2007.
