David Stinson

Originally from Warrenton, Virginia, David Stinson received his BA degree from the University of Montana and his Master of Fine Arts degree from California Institute of Arts. He pursued post-graduate studies at Harvard and the University of California at Los Angeles. After eight years employed as the Art & Design Coordinator at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences in Beverly Hills, David opted for the quiet life in Aiken.

David quickly found out that life in Aiken is not quiet, but it is rewarding. At the Governor’s request, David served three years as a Commissioner on the South Carolina Arts Commission. He has served on the Community Medical Clinic of Aiken County, the Advisory Council for the University of South Carolina’s Etherredge Center, the Aiken SPCA, the Aiken Board of Realtors, and the Board of Governors for Aiken’s private Green Boundary Club.

He has been a member of the Aiken Driving Club. He has served as co-chair of the Green Boundary Club Winter Ball, the Green Boundary Club Winter Auction, the Aiken SPCA Easter Parade, the SPCA-Free Medical Clinic Annual House-&-Barn Tour, and Chairman of the Katydid Combined Driving Event Sunday Brunch and numerous other charity events in Aiken. In 2012, he raised community funds dancing the hula with Connie Young in Aiken’s gala fundraiser: “Dancing With the Stars.”

When he is not setting new records in the local real estate market, David can be found with his dogs and hens on his tiny farm in Aiken’s historic district.
