He has used his skills for an array of LGBT and queer-friendly politicians including presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich and current San Francisco Supervisors Bevan Dufty and Tom Ammiano. Radio-Free Pusspuss is the name of his live sets and music column reviews of an array of musical genres sometimes also called Music Beyond Boundaries that has been widely quoted across all genres of music including rock, handbag house, lounge, world, ska, hip-hop, feminist, electro, folk, alternative, queer and disco.

His writings appear in various publications including San Francisco Bay Times, San Francisco Spectrum and Gloss magazine. He sits on various community organizations as consultant and serves on the board of the San Francisco Late Night Coalition (SF LNC) which has been a beacon for performing arts and entertainment activists around the world helping find mutually beneficial solutions for communities of all sizes to incorporate performing arts and entertainment into their lives known as quality of life issues. In San Francisco the SF LNC created and watch-dogs the San Francisco Entertainment Commission to ensure that venues and artists are treated fairly whereas historically the local authorities (usually police and fire department would randomly close events and/or venues as a form of harassment.
