Gabriel Sterling digg - Political consulting while as COO/CFO of Georgia SoS?
1/2
Folks, I sense a lot of fishy busyness with Gabriel Sterling of Georgia.
Gabriel's late grandma Leonor Rubio was born in Pinar del Rio, Cuba. As we all know, Cuba is a communist regime. Quite ironic how his recent actions praise communism.
Gabriel's mother is Ana Rubio Sterling who is an Associate Real Estate Broker with Harry Norman in Georgia. She recently sold properties of up to $1.55M. Her father, Robert Guy Sterling (known as Rod Sterling), has always been in the pool chemical business and is the owner of The Sterling Advisory Group which specializes in consulting and small business merges and acquisitions. According to Garbiel's LinkedIn profile, Gabriel served as President of The Sterling Advisory Group from December 1996-July 2005. Rod is also the registered agent for Wesss Real Estate and Sterling Solar LLC, both of Sandy Springs, GA.
Gabriel's full name is Robert Gabriel Sterling, according to business registration records. Through cross-referencing the addresses linked to Gabriel's registered businesses, it turns out that he is the owner of social media accounts advocating for Georgia Film tax breaks. On the Twitter account @KeepGAFilmBoom, it even contains retweets of Gabriel's smoked chicken salad creations. The PO Box for Keep George Film Industry Booming is also used for Sterling Seasonal Home, Inc. which is one of Gabriel's businesses involved in pool chemicals.
According to business registrations, Gabriel is the owner of:
-
Sterling Advisory Group, Inc.
-
Sterling Seasonal Home, Inc.
-
Neighbors for Sterlign, Inc.
-
Sterling Innovation Solutions LLC
Interestingly Gabriel was also the President of SSH, Inc. from July 2012 to January 2019. As per Patch's article announcing Gabriel is the SoS COO, SSH, Inc. is a "business and political consulting firm". In the article, Brad Raffensperger and Jordan Fuchs both mention that they have worked with Gabriel on several projects and found him to be an excellent candidate for the role. There is not a business named "SSH, Inc." that is registered to Gabriel; the only business which comes close to SSH, Inc. is Sterling Seasonal Home, Inc., which happens to be a pool chemical business on Gabriel's LinkedIn profile. According to Georgia's Corporations Division, Sterling Seasonal Home, Inc. was registered in October 2002 and is an active corporation. Therefore Gabriel could most likely still be performing political consulting while in office.
Through another address match, it turns out that Gabriel is also the former agent registered for Friends of Judge JP Boulee Inc.; JP Boulee is the US District Judge for the Northern District of Georgia.
