Playing career
Stiffler played high school baseball from 1993–1997 at Somerset Area High School, in Somerset, Pennsylvania where he earned All-American honors as a pitcher. He was drafted in the 53rd round by the Minnesota Twins in the 1997 MLB Draft, but elected instead to continue his baseball career at the collegiate level, joining the George Mason Patriots baseball team. Stiffler pitched all four years for Mason.
Coaching career
Immediately following his career with George Mason, Stiffler was picked up as an assistant for the VCU Rams baseball program. Initially, Stiffler was hired as the program's pitching coach and recruiting coordinator. As a recruiter for VCU, Stiffler recruited 15 eventual Major League Baseball draft picks. He would serve the role as a recruiter and pitching coach until 2007, where he was promoted to an assistant. In Stiffler's first season as an assistant, the Rams would boast one of their strongest campaigns in program history, winning 27 games and the 2007 CAA Tournament.
During the 2012 season, Stiffler was assigned to be head coach on an interim basis when Paul Keyes stepped down to health reasons. Stiffler finished the 2012 season out with a 12–9 record, and in December 2012 was assigned to be head coach on a full-time basis.
