In addition to capital Planning, Stines manages and executes auxiliary revenue opportunities such as concerts, outside rentals, alternative sporting events, and live entertainment, leveraging the unique offerings of the University of Georgia to create value when athletic facilities are not in typical use.

Before his time at McNeese, Stines worked in Internal Operations for the University of Georgia Athletic Association, contributing to construction planning and serving on all UGA capital project teams. He previously held the role of Coordinator of Graphics and Displays, where he managed museum exhibits and historical archives across athletic facilities and led efforts in repairs, inspections, and graphics maintenance.
Stines began his career in athletics as an undergraduate equipment manager for the UGA Football Program, later transitioning into a football operations intern role. He spent five seasons with the team from 2006–2010 under Head Coach Mark Richt.
