Howard began his diverse career in 1995 at the Whiting-Turner Contracting Company in Orlando, FL working in a variety of roles on construction projects ranging from warehouse, office to complex theme parks. A highlight of that time was coordinating the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection and kitchen equipment trades for Seuss Landing at Universal’s Islands of Adventure. In 2003, he moved to Port St Lucie to start a new career in land development. From 2003 to 2009 during the building boom, he managed design consultants and contractors for various development projects for Core Communities, LLC (Tradition Development), a master planned community developer and subsidiary of Levitt Corp. 

In 2007, Chinese drywall was discovered in a condominium property that he owned. While serving as the Association president in 2008, several residents began complaining about odors and failing air conditioning systems. In late December 2008, the news broke about Chinese drywall around the same time it was suspected to be throughout his condominium community. His background combined with the ensuing events at the time created a perfect storm and he quickly founded Chinese Drywall Screening, LLC on January 19, 2009. 

In 2011, he reconnected back into the land development industry and joined Creech Engineers, Inc on a part time basis. Creech was subsequently purchased by Bowman Consulting Group, ltd in 2013. His time at Bowman was spent as a Senior Project Manager and Engineer of Record for civil engineering projects ranging from small parcels to large single family and multi-family communities.  

In 2020, Howard joined Venergy Group, LLC as the Chief of Engineering and Real Estate Development.  Venergy is a SDVOSB federal contactor mostly engaged in renovations and specialty work for the Veterans Administration Hospitals around the country. Howard's primary role is the acquisition of properties for federal leases.  

Due to his loyalty and expertise, Howard remains active with Venergy Group's real estate projects along with helping those still dealing with Chinese drywall, while expanding his professional career with ECR Group USA.

Howard and his team of experts will always strive to offer the best possible expertise and services to maximize the goals of his clients.
