He may be the perfect candidate. My antenna goes up a bit when the experience comes from being the general counsel for a disaster recovery and environmental services company, AshBritt. I guess that means that they, AshBritt, don't expect to get any work in Florida from the state, since that would "appear to be a conflict of interest" with him just leaving the company.
General counsel and being an emergency manager are two different things. I wish him well, since the people of Florida are counting on him, and in Florida, it isn't likely you can skate by four years with no disasters.
Time will tell!
