Stinner was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on October 11, 1951. In 1969, he graduated from Montour High School in the Pittsburgh area. He was drafted by a professional baseball team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, but opted to accept an athletic scholarship and play football at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln; there, he was a member of the teams that won national championships in 1970 and 1971. In 1973, he obtained a B.S. in business administration; in 1976, an M.A. in economics.

Following his graduation, Stinner worked in Lincoln, first as a CPA for Peat Marwick Mitchell, then as senior lender and head internal auditor for First Commerce Bancshares. In 1988, he and a group of investors founded Gering State Bank, in the city of Gering in the western Nebraska Panhandle. In 1997, the bank was renamed Valley Bank and Trust Co. In 2011, it expanded into the front range of Colorado, where it operated as Western States Bank. As of 2016, it had eight locations in six western Nebraska communities: Gering, Scottsbluff, Bayard, Ogallala, Grant, and Wauneta; and three locations in Fort Collins and Loveland, Colorado.
