I was born in Loma Linda, California on Oct. 1, 1969 to Linda and Steve Sutherland. A good-looking baby, I must say. I did not speak for the first five years of my life and that made it hard to tell people what I wanted and needed. This was because some of my brain was damaged when I was born. The Experts stated at the time to my parents that I would never progress beyond a Vegetable. I guess I must be a brussell sprout. But now I am very articulate. I started to do magic to help my hand-eye coordination and to learn how to follow directions, since I was dyslexic. I was just four years old. Then I also started taking dance classes at a very young age, to help me learn how to walk and move on and off stage. Since 1973, I have been on stage performing all around Los Angeles and the United States as well as on many different TV shows as a magician, singer and dancer. After all my schooling, I graduated with my Mom and Dads help. Then I attended Landmark College in Putney, Vermont. There I learned to read and write. I went from a third grade reading level to an eighth grade reading level, while I was there. Also my math skills werent so hot, but they brought those right up too. In 1998 to 2002, I was a student at the McNichols Dyslexia Learning Center in Newport Beach, California where I learned how to read, write and spell better. Now today, I am a Lighting Director at Coast Hills Community Church in Aliso Viejo, California. I also direct lighting, sound and set design along with many other jobs in the local theatre world. It makes me happy that I can write poetry and be able to share it with you. I hope you will enjoy what many have said is heart-wrenching poetry; it expresses my frustration and pain I have felt all of my life
