As a DOI deputy commissioner, he spearheaded investigations involving fraud, corruption, mismanagement, and other unethical behavior.  Earlier in his career, Sullivan oversaw the Claims Bureau of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s Long Island Railroad. He began his career with the New York City Police Department, retiring as a first-grade detective.  

Throughout his career, Sullivan has been honored with numerous awards for his work in law enforcement and public service, including the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Award and three Department of Justice Awards for Public Service.
