The son of Sylvester Case Skinner, he was born and educated in his hometown of Gananoque, Ontario.
He was president and general manager of the Skinner Company Limited, established by his father, which manufactured various farm tools and hardware for carriages.
During World War I, its production was converted to small hardware for use by the armed forces.
Today, the home Mr. Skinner built in Gananoque in 1906 is a nationally protected heritage site.
