Christopher Pearson graduated Florida Southern Business college in 1993 driving an Eagle Talon turbo TSi AWD. Chris’s passion for cars started at a very young age with his parents collecting grey wheeled Matchbox cars from England. Over the years, the collection expanded into Hot Wheels and eventually real-life cars that his father purchased, restored and collected including a 1974 Jaguar XKE, 1957 Chevy 2 Door Belair, 1971 454 Chevelle, International Scouts, multiple Grand Nationals, and original Hummers all with Chris’s help and persuasion. His passion in 80’s turbo cars blossomed in 1997 when he put together the first Syclone and Typhoon national car show and brought hundreds of owners from across the country to meet and collaborate. Today Chris owns multiple cars across many genres and the need to keep them somewhere led to the creation of The Auto Den.

Sterling Whitman McLamore Jr. graduated from Southern Methodist University with a degree in business management from the Cox School of Business. Sterling and his brother James run their family investment office in Tampa Florida. He has always been a motorsport advocate growing up off-roading with his family on hunting land in southern Florida and racing his father’s 911 on the taxi ways of the local FBO. His passion for detailing boats and cars led to his obsession with storing them in perfect condition. Sterling enjoys an active outdoor lifestyle with his wife and two children. His favorite car color is green and most of his collection are Jeeps.

James McLamore grew up in Tampa, FL and received his Bachelor’s in Business Administration from SMU focusing on Real Estate Finance. After SMU James worked as a real estate banker in Atlanta, GA before returning to Tampa to begin investing in real estate with his brother Sterling. James’s love of cars started early, and he began detailing cars at 13 years old to earn money for his first car, a 1971 Cutlass Supreme that he planned to restore with his Dad. That build ended up taking way longer than planned and he didn’t get to drive the Cutlass until college, which was not the most practical place to have a muscle car. James has owned several cars over his lifetime, one of the last being an ’86 Land Cruiser FJ60 that had to sit outside in the sunny, salty Florida air, thus creating the need to start the Auto Den.
