About Des Sullivan

My photo
Des Sullivan
St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
Uncle Gnarley is written by Des Sullivan, of St. John's. He is a businessman engaged in real estate, retail and development companies. A Director of Sullivan Capital Corporation, he is a former Executive Assistant to Premier's Frank D. Moores (1975-1979)and Brian Peckford (1979-1985). He also served as a Part-Time Board Member on the Canada-Newfoundland Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board (C-NLOPB). Uncle Gnarley permitted the use of his highly regarded name provided he could have full access to state his own rather unequivocable opinions. (A more detailed Profile of Uncle Gnarley is described in the very first Post entitled "Uncle Gnarley is alive and well" found on this site. Sullivan is a firm advocate of sound fiscal management by the provincial government and intends to use this Site as a forum for commentary on the major issues of the day. Says Sullivan, "Newfoundland and Labrador inspires debate on a variety of issues, a veritable Muskrat Falls of opinion". Readers are invited to leave their opinions, too. Uncle Gnarley will post every Monday, and more often as events warrant.
