No, you've got that backwards. His Schwartzchild radius is teeny-tiny, much smaller than he is, and since he's not all within that radius, he's not a black hole.
However, there is an amount of mass which, if packed into a sphere with the same density he has, would be a black hole. It has a radius about the distance of Mars from the sun, IIRC from the article. Which, if you packed it with stuff at that density, is still a startling lot of mass.
