He does btw has a normal day job as a business consultant I have met him several times, as have others here on the list. I'm sure he is integer and he is a very nice person too. He has a wealth of (inside) knowledge and also does criticize leica as he thinks it is appropriate. He has not been treated very well here on the list by some people, which in my opinion is very shameful. You might not agree with him, or you may not like the way he writes but in my opinion he is fully reliable in his testing and his book on Leica lenses is an all time classic which I consult very often.
