  • Ray Sullivan was born on April 7, 1959 to Bob and Julia Sullivan. Ray is a fourth-generation West Virginian whose family was immersed in West Virginia culture and history. Ray's great-great-grandfather was a coal miner who eventually rose to become the owner of a coal-mining business. The family enjoyed great wealth until the Great Depression, which bankrupted the company so that Ray's grandfather was raised in poverty. Ray's grandfather was a Naval veteran and a professional heavyweight boxer who became famous in West Virginia and served as a West Virginia State Representative and State Senator. Ray's father owned Sullivan Motors, a lucrative car dealership, and his mother was a homemaker. Ray was a bright boy and was an honors student and a member of the varsity football and baseball teams. Following high school he received a partial-scholarship to Vanderbilt for baseball. He graduated from Vanderbilt in 1981 with a Bachelor of Arts degree and went on to West Virginia University College of Law, graduating with his Juris Doctorate in 1985. Following law school, while he was working toward taking the bar exam, he clerked for a West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals Judge. Once he had passed the bar, the judge convinced Ray to become an Assistant District Attorney in Charleston, West Virginia, the state's capital. Ray showed himself to be talented and tough in his job and rose to the position of District Attorney by 1987. In December of 1989, Ray left the DA's office to open his own law firm. In early 1991, Ray was named by conservative President-Elect Owen Lassiter as his choice for US Attorney for the Southern District of West Virginia. Ray became the youngest US Attorney ever confirmed by the United States Senate at the age of 31. Ray served as US Attorney until 1993, when he stepped down to work in the private sector.
