According to Ed Poppell from the University of Florida Development Corporation and Economic Development, Emerick was selected due to his experience engaging audiences in an entertaining and professional manner while incorporating organizational branding into his presentation. “Al was presented to us and we were impressed with his reputation as an entertaining emcee who knows how to connect with audiences. His ties to St. Augustine were also a definite plus as we know he loves St. Augustine.”
