After his graduation from Stanford and serving a tour of duty as an officer in the U.S. Army, Mr. Sullivan
was for many years a member of a prominent San Francisco law firm rising to the rank of senior partner. He left that firm
in 1993 so that he could devote himself full time to projects in Southeast Asia, especially Vietnam, while at the same time
remaining "of counsel" to other San Francisco firms. Recently, Mr. Sullivan has been associated as legal counsel with the
only publicly traded company which is majority-owned by Native Americans.
Mr. Sullivan is a member of the Bankers Club
of San Francisco and the Olympic Club. International Project Financing was first published in 1988 and the third edition was
published in 1999, with updates having been made each year thereafter.
