Set a new password and not auto log you in. Next time he uses your computer bounce him hard and kick him out.

Almost certainly he did this by simply using your computer, not by "hacking" it in any technical sense.

To block him:
1. Change your password.
2. In System Preference > User & Groups > Login Options, turn off Automatic Login.
3. In System Preferences > Security & PRivacy > General, turn on "Require password immediately after sleep or screen saver begins.
4. Keep your computer in a locked drawer.
 
Do you have screen sharing enabled on your computer?

System Preferences > Sharing pane > Screen Sharing (checkbox on list item)


What do you have enabled under the Sharing pane? Anything at all?
