Howie is a Brooklyn boy who chased his dreams on the other side of the East River after the Dodgers left Brooklyn. He started his legal career as a file clerk and receptionist for his father’s law office in New York. He was active in student government in high school, was regularly on the Honor Roll and played varsity baseball, basketball and tennis. He attended college on a New York Regents’ Scholarship and a USAF Financial Assistance Grant. While attending Colgate University, he was an active participant with WRCU, the campus radio station, a member of Omicron Delta Epsilon, the National Economics Honor Society and received the Chicago Tribune Award. He was regularly on the Dean’s List and was presented with the Wall Street Journal Student Achievement Award. He was a member of the USAF ROTC and was a varsity tennis player. He worked as a tennis instructor and securities broker. As an exchange student he worked as an intern for the Union of Postal Workers in Great Britain. After spending a year at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and working with the Union, he realized he was not a socialist. Howie earned his law degree from Duke University. While at Duke, he became as close as a Brooklyn boy can be to a southern gentleman (don’t believe everything you read on the internet) and received the American Jurisprudence Award. While serving in the USAF as a judge advocate and military judge, Howie was elected and served as the President of the Ellsworth AFB Federal Credit Union, was awarded aCommendation Medal and was nominated as one of the “Outstanding Young Men of America.”
