St. Louis Effort for AIDS founder and celebrity hairstylist Daniel Flier joins #Boom Magazine; and Vivent Health to discuss early days of AIDS epidemic and progress made since.
Early Life and Education
Flier attended high school on Long Island, New York at Mineola High School. For four summers he received intensive Balanchine training with teachers like Patricia McBride (whose analogy of plies melting like ice cream stayed with him) and Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux at Chautauqua Summer Dance Program upstate.
In 1985, he established St Louis Effort for AIDS with $6,000 seed money and secured nonprofit status. Additionally, he is a life member of the National Gay and Lesbian Rights Foundation.
He is an avid rugby fan, with Richie McCaw serving as his back-row model of perfection. Additionally, he maintains a modest Christian faith.
Professional Career
Daniel is an extremely gifted OF/RHP prospect. In the field, his footwork is impressive – getting to the ball quickly while throwing efficiently – while at bat his bat speed, balance and loud line drives are unmatched.
Briere spent three seasons with the Drummondville Voltigeurs of the QMJHL, scoring 416 points over 198 games. Following that he spent four more years as a Flyers player before taking on his current position as General Manager (GM). As such he is accountable for all hockey decisions such as signings, trades, draft picks and roster construction for his club.
He is one of the co-founders of St. Louis Effort for AIDS and has been one of its leading advocates since it first started up in 1985. Join #Boom Magazine and Vivent Health as we discuss both its early days, and its current state.
Achievement and Honors
van der Flier was initially disappointed to be overlooked for Ireland’s tour to New Zealand in 2022, trailing behind Will Connors on their roster. Following this setback, he dedicated himself to improving all areas of his game – becoming more ball carrying and adding variety into his attacks.
As his international fame increased, teams started marking him more and devising plays specifically aimed at neutralizing him.
He topped the world rankings and was honored as World Rugby Player of the Year last month at awards ceremonies, where inspirational talks with previous winners Bryan Habana and Dan Carter gave him additional motivation.
Personal Life
As with the biblical Daniel, he was known for both private and public prayers. Additionally, he was an innovator who contributed to more theatrical forms of protest and civil disobedience, such as donning an apostle costume to avoid arrest by agents.
Hair stylist, activist and everlasting Miss Gay Missouri Shreves has spent three decades donning wigs, nails and gowns as Miss Gay Missouri but has yet to achieve his ultimate goal – becoming Miss Gay Missouri America! He often teases about this, yet can only dream about it; so, as one of the region’s premier drag performers he uses drag performances as therapy to cope with disappointments like this.
Net Worth
Daniel Briere has an estimated net worth of $38 Million and lives in Philadelphia with his wife Misha Harrell and three sons from his previous partnership. Daniel played Bantam hockey for Abitibi Regents before moving onto Quebec Midget League’s AAA Gatineau Intrepide before being hired on by Drummondville Voltigeurs in 1994 where he won both Michael Bergeron Trophy and Frank J Selke Memorial Trophy awards during his career.
