No clue where he is now. But his went something like:

GL -> retired -> GL -> Deaged by some mystic reason -> Sentinel -> Back to reaged to old GL -> now no clue.
He had two kids with his wife, who stayed old when he got deaged which caused some decent stories between them about the rammifications.
One of his children being Jade, who kyle was dating, which led to him criss-crossing in and out of the normal GL title of the 90s. AFAIK, he and kyle still talk on occasion.

Personally, I'm only really a fan of his sentinel costume. His classic is yes classic, but sentinel was quite an awesome update imho. It really evoked a man reborn feeling too, that had stories akin to captain america's a man displaced in time. Similiar in a way to Forever Young in many ways too, except he was awake during technology progression.

I kind of miss the 90s stories centered around Kyle though. I kind of wish they approached the rebirth of the corps better than just reverting everything back to the way it was before.

I do like the many new corps branches like the alpha lanterns, and the mobile bases they have now, and the partner system. Much of that though seems like a human emphasis onto what was otherwise guardian arrogance about emotions, which is another reason why I wish they stuck with the more humanizing them as was insinuated early on before the full blown rebirth that Geoff Johns caused.

Then again, maybe I just prefer artists as GLs, since they seem to be more capable with the rings in thinking creatively to use them. They've also seemingly forgotten about all the changes kyle made to his personal ring among other little side details they've accumulated over the years.
