I'll add a brag: he is now in a PhD program in astronomy at a university on the east coast. Earlier this month he spent a week in Cambridge, England, at an exo-planet conference.

He's had a lot of struggles over the years, as intelligent as he is, and he is FINALLY, at the age of 35 where he should be.
