Highlights

Education

Sullivan attended the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where he studied English.

Experience

Sullivan covered the Department of the Interior closely while on staff at Field & Stream, and wrote several long features, most notably “The Shipwreck of San Leon” and “The Vanishing.” In 2018, Sullivan—who remains a contributing writer for Field & Stream—left for Men’s Journal, where he wrote about, well, a bunch of stuff: feral hogs, Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, hypercompetitive pinball players. His forthcoming book expands on a Men’s Journal story about a disaster at a TVA power plant.

F&S Lightning Round

Favorite Place to Fish: Blackfoot RiverFavorite F&S story: “Boxes” by Ted Trueblood, because it’s so odd and would never get published in print today. Bill Heavey’s “People of the Caribou” is also pretty good.
