Gov. Ron DeSantis is again picking his old military commander for a board position.
Daniel Bean is positioned to be the newest member of the St. Augustine Airport Authority, the Governor’s Office announced this week.
Bean, a lawyer at Smith, Gambrell, & Russell, LLP, has been the Treasurer of the Five Star Veterans Center, the Secretary for K9s for Warriors, and is the Chair of the FreshMinistries, Inc. Board of Trustees.
Bean’s appointment is the Governor’s latest move to restore a full board after multiple members have left this year. As First Coast News notes, only one original member at the beginning of 2025 remains as 2026 begins.
Bean attended Vanderbilt for his undergraduate studies and San Diego State for law school, on Navy scholarships in both cases.
Professionally, Bean handles trust and probate, commercial litigation matters, and assistance to foreign litigants
