Marcie,
well I know exactly what you are going through. Unfortunately until you begin to gain his trust you are just going to have to take the bites...as hard as that sounds. What my husband did with our male biter was actually kept putting his finger (with a treat on it) near his face to get bit...then he would realize there was a treat and start licking instead. after a while he could put his finger near his face without him biting. It could be a long and difficult process though. If you had already gained his trust some I would suggest blowing but that is more likely to make him angry at this point....
Another thing you can try and see how he reacts is making a "psssst" sound...that's what my glider associate with "stop".
good luck :)
