Nope.

what do you mean, 'nope'?. ok, ok, ok, I was technically off, but not by much. Pretty much as I guessed. All lego obsessed geeks are all the same. They either look like that, or the comic book store guy from the simpsons.

Well, let's see. Doesn't have a ponytail. Doesn't live with his parents. I'd call that a big nope.

My guess is you prejudged him and just looked at the picture.

From his FAQ

You have way too much time on your hands.

I guess this is a matter of opinion, but I have a wife and two kids and hold down a job that keeps me out of the house for around 75 hours a week. Nonetheless, it's amazing how many people have so much time on their hands thay have nothing better to do with it than email me to tell me I have too much time on my hands. If you really want to join their ranks you are free to do so but I probably won't reply.

There are only a few sure things in life. If you have small children you will eventually have Legos and if you have Legos you will on some night go into your child's dark room and step on the Legos with your bare feet!

This can be another very educational aspect to life with Legos. In an "advanced vocabulary" sort of way. [/voice of experience]

There's a guy in MI that builds model skyscrapers with jenga (wooden) blocks then has people pull out blocks until they collapse.
His Leaning Tower of Pisa was rigged with a wire around the supports at the bottom. When a reporter circled the tower dragging a microphone cable, they yanked the wire making it look like the reporter accidentally toppled the tower.

Check it out here and here.

Oooooor you can go over to this thread
