Biography
Sullivan was born in Sudbury, Massachusetts and he grew up in Holliston, Massachusetts.[4] His father worked at WGBH-TV as a lighting director who worked on The French Chef. Watching Julia Child make beef Wellington stuck with him through and influenced his decision to go into the food industry as an adult.[1]
Previously, his father was a lighting tech for Johnny Mathis which necessitated a move to Southern California. But they moved back to Massachusetts in 1967.[4]
He entered San Diego State University in 1979 to study architecture but dropped out in 1982 before his last year. He went to work for Finely Michaels where he had worked during summer vacations. Other students were picking up the material quicker than he was and Sullivan was discouraged.[4]
At Finely Michael’s he worked as a manager overseeing construction and training the wait staff. He opened Ambrosia on Huntington with chef Anthony Ambrose in 1994.
Sullivan met Larson in 1998 at a book signing party leading to his being hired as a general manager for Sapphire.[4]
In September 2005, Sullivan married attorney Mark Young,[5] whom he met in 1988. The couple lives in Chinatown, Boston.[4]
