Stribling began his state career with the California Conservation Corps in October 1986.

In 2002, he began working at a youth conservation camp as a correctional cook.
Three years later, he was working at the Richard A. McGee Correctional Training Center in Galt as a correctional cook II. In 2014, he transferred to California State Prison (CSP) Sacramento, as a correctional supervising cook. He continued at the institution until he retired in May 2024.
