Sullivan started his collegiate basketball career at Franklin and Marshall University playing for the winningest coach in the history of Division III basketball, Glenn Robinson.  After his freshman season, Sullivan transferred to Wittenberg University and as a junior was named second-team All-NCAC.  In his third year, Sullivan tied the Wittenberg all-time season mark for three-point field-goals made in a season (90) and finished sixth in the nation with 3.2 three-point field-goals made per game.

During his senior campaign, Sullivan led the nation in three-pointers per game (4.1) and set the Wittenberg and NCAC record for three-pointers made in a season (120).  He was named first-team All-NCAC, first-team All-Great Lakes Region, and was selected to the D3hoops.com All-America team.  Sullivan graduated from Wittenberg in 2011 with a degree in Sport Management.

A native of Upper Arlington, Ohio, Sullivan played his high school basketball at Upper Arlington High School.  As a senior, Sullivan led Upper Arlington to its first district title in 60 years and was named first team All-Ohio Capital Conference.  Sullivan’s 92 three-point field-goals made during his senior season currently ranks 18th all-time in the state of Ohio.

Sullivan currently resides in Newark, Ohio.
