His passion is to find those hidden gems, those unique remixes and meld them together so that it FLOWS with your own energy to create something new, powerful and inspiring. With the airing of his internet radio programs and podcasts he’s had the privilege of sharing three unique energy flows: Up Where We Belong, which is uplifting anthems. Dancing to Lullabies has a more melancholic and thoughtful approach and finally, SpiritDance with its’ chill and downtempo grooves.

About Flagging in the Park
In 1997, a group of San Francisco flaggers started a tradition of celebrating life by gathering in the newly dedicated National AIDS Memorial Grove. The DJs, organizers, and participants donate their time, energy, and love to help raise money for mostly local (sometimes national) charities.
