Sterling Thompson Company began as a sole proprietorship in Louisville in 1937. Sterling Thompson, the company founder, employed his nephew Jack R. Thompson after World War II. Jack Thompson assumed ownership and brought in his son, Steve B. Thompson, in 1973. In 1982, R. Alex Rankin joined the firm after a short career in commercial banking.
