FWIW I'll say to be clear no i have not met.
I will say that last year I was going to be in Europe and potentially in same city and he answered basic questions timely, gave rates (which i can provide over DM), and seemed ready, willing and able to meet if schedules could align.
Ultimately they did not but that was because of me.
Don't know if potentially could've flaked later or not be person, but seemed like fairly routine normal preliminary communication.
