Sterling Skinner, Founder and Show Director

Sterling Skinner is a 1995 Georgia Tech Graduate in Mechanical Engineering who came back to Tech to be the Director of Instructional Labs in the Mechanical Engineering Department.  In his position Sterling purchases, sets up, maintains, trains, and write manuals for experiments using lasers, robots, pumps, servo motors, and other types of toys.

In addition to all of his busy schedule Skinner is the founder and main organizer of the Georgia Tech Auto Show, now in its seventh year.  Sterling has a love for all cars and a knack for bringing people together. The Auto Show is the culmination of both.

Skinner believes that this show is a way to let people reconnect with Georgia Tech who might no feel comfortable at a black tie alumni function as well as including students, staff, faculty, fans and others who all share a connection to Tech and a love for vehicles. Skinner points out that there are great numbers of tech graduates that have made some of the most important engineering and design strides in the automotive industry and it is great to be able to celebrate the talent.

Although jhe does have other vehicles, Sterling loves his Porsche and can even be seen driving it with no top, since it has no top, through the rain, probably sitting in two inches of water. And it seems that he does not even notice!
