John Sullivan is the eldest of seven children and has lived practically all his life in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, but has travelled widely and appreciates the world at large, without wishing to live anywhere else. He and his wife have four children and several grandchildren. He has never given up hope for his country, although he is deeply saddened by the misrule that has created a far-flung diaspora and taken a huge toll on family life and general wellbeing.
As a Roman Catholic, educated by the Dominican Sisters and the Christian Brothers, he received a broad education and great inspiration and blessings, bearing witness to the great dedication and benefits of good priests and religious who have done so much to uplift and improve people's lives, across all the many classes and cultures in Africa.
As a civil engineer, from the University of the Witwatersrand, in Johannesburg, he has experienced the satisfaction of building several bridges, factories, houses and all sorts of structures and steel and wooden products. Writing this book involved many of the same engineering and project management processes.view less
