Amesbury and Salisbury beat reporter for the Newburyport Daily News where I have been writing since 2007.

Started in sports and worked my way up to national politics.

I also write for Newburyport Magazine and Middleton Magazine.

I cover everything from School Committee meetings to presidential policy and instigate 95 percent of my stories.

My dad, "The" Paul Sullivan wrote for the Boston Herald for most of my life, so I grew up in this business.

NEWBURYPORT — There will be a new face representing Ward 6 this winter after Councilor Byron Lane announced Thursday he would not be seeking another term this fall. The Hart Road resident joined the council five years and although he took out nomination papers last month for a potential fourth term, Lane said he doesn't intend to return them to City Hall. Instead, he wants to devote more time to his growing limousine service as well as his 12-year-old son. kAmQw2G:?8 8@EE6?
