No. I believe he's still a fellow in AGE but he decided some time ago to focus on the SRF which was really just gaining traction about 3 years ago, and has done quite well in its mission. There were a lot of people who've done work the SRF, including Brian Kennedy and the Buck Institute.

There's a huge fixation on Aubrey with his beard, intelligence, and heroic patience (how many times has he given the same speech?). While it's nice to point to one person and say "Our savior!" he's only one researcher. Most of the science (even much of the cool science) that's being done is being done outside the SRF.

He IS a hero, he may have sped our progress up by a decade (or more) and the SRF is definitely worth donating to. I've a monthly autopay setup.
