Howell received his M.D. from the University of Miami School of Medicine in 1994, and began working in Bronx, New York as a pediatrician.[1] In 1998 he formed the not-for-profit group Children Living With Aids, Inc., motivated by his discovery that HIV-positive children were being barred from the entertainment sessions that he, his son and his daughter were providing to hospitalized children.[2]
Howell also graduated from the Film School of New York University.[3] His 2009 film Redemption of Paradise was named best Caribbean film at the 2010 Jamaica International Reggae Film Festival.[4]
In February 2010, he was appointed roving film ambassador for the Motion Picture Association of Antigua & Barbuda.[5] Upon the release of Redemption of Paradise shortly afterwards, it was rewarded Special Honor Award for Best Caribbean Film and two other awards at the Reggae Film Festival.[6]
In 2014 Howell established a mathematics award with the Ministry of Education in Antigua and Barbuda, providing nine outstanding public school students with $500 each for outstanding performance in mathematics.[7]
