Howie is everybody's favorite guy. He is a former options trader who retired a few years ago so he could pursue every hedonistic avenue known to man. To Howie, a good day is spending the day on the golf course, smoking a few cigars, finishing up with a Chinese dinner with a few nightcaps. To make it a GREAT day, there is a lady involved in the dinner and the nightcaps.
 
At the Nationals in Minneapolis, Howie once ate Chinese food 11 straight nights. This would have been an unequaled record but for the 4 other people who accompanied him.
 
He has one strange phobia; cheese. Apparently he was attacked as a young boy by some neighborhood cheese bullys and to this day he eats cheeseless pizza.
