Have you thought about clipping him? If working with him wasn't working that would be the first thing I would do. That way there is no danger to your husband and you can still interact with the bird.

I'm not sure what you've tried, but here are a few suggestions:
If he truly hates your husband's presence there are many training programs out there that help with that sort of problem, such as birdtricks.com's 'Power Pause' technique. I haven't had to use it myself but I've heard good things about it.
If you clip the bird and your husband works with him to the point that they can be in the same area together you could try hands off training such as target training, that way they can start to build a bond but your husband's hands will be out of biting reach. Also you can work on getting the bird to step up for your husband through target training. I recommend reading Michael's post on training your bird to step up and come out of it's cage http://theparrotforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=227
If they can get to the point where the bird is stepping up for your husband you could limit your interactions with the bird and always have your husband bring the bird to you. It will learn that the only way it gets to go to who he wants he has to cooperate with your husband.
My amazon doesn't love my husband, the rare time Mojo does fly to him he's rewarded with a good chomp to the thumb (this is improving though). They do get along enough so that my husband can usually take Mojo out of his cage, or put him into his cage. He can even usually take him off of his play stand without any fuss. Usually when he picks Mojo up he gives Mojo a treat, and he always hands Mojo to me so he realizes that stepping up for him brings him to who he wants to be with. Even though Mojo can fly he will let my husband bring him to me. They get along well enough but he does get bit fairly often still. We're slowly working on it as time permits.
There's a lot of good information on this forum and also on other websites. I really hope that if you put enough time and dedication into making things work with your bird that you will be able to keep him.
Good luck!
