When he bought the company he likely bought restricted shares. If he remained with the company those shares are likely still restricted. The SOS does require all directors and key officers to be listed annually. My guess is he's out since he is not on the currently list. He may have sold his restricted stock to the new owners (all or part). That could probably be determined by calling the company's transfer agent and asking about share counts (float/OS/etc.) and comparing that to the last filing(s). That is...they even have an active transfer agent any more.
