He is now enjoying a very successful and fulfilling career working for a corporation that does clinical research trials for the big pharmaceuticals. Allow him to be who he is, not who he is expected to be.
From his remark to you when he was so young I thought he might be doing Stand Up Comedy now. lol He sounds like a great person and you sound like a wise parent.
