He has served on numerous committees and boards of directors, including Christopher Street West, Lobby for Individual Freedom and Equality (LIFE AIDS Lobby), Greater Los Angeles AIDS Hospice Foundation, Casa del Sol hospice, and the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Community Fund Advisory Committee of the California Community Foundation. He was an active volunteer in the campaign against California proposition 64 (also known as the LaRouche initiative), in the Long Beach pride parades, and in Imperial Courts activities in Southern California.
