“Howard allowed me to shine when presenting product lines to retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop and Target. All the assets used to sell-in and sell-through products at 505 Games were touched by Howard in some way. Regardless of the time and budget constraints, Howard always came through. I highly recommend Howard to any organization that needs help in producing and organizing their product, sales and marketing materials. Howard is the best in the business!”

Give Howard an objective, budget and deadline and he will figure out a way to over-deliver on-time and often under-budget. Howard’s ability to manage a multitude of complex tasks and direct the efforts of his team members is well demonstrated by his work at Sony, THQ and 505 Games. Without ego or fanfare, Howard gets it done!

I have had the pleasure of working with Howard for almost 20 years, as both a vendor and as part of the same corporate team. He is by far the most capable, knowledgeable and conscientious Director I have ever encountered. Quality of work has always been his top priority, while steadfastly keeping a keen eye on the bottom line. His ability to grasp and disseminate the big picture without losing sight of all the fine details is also remarkable. The depth and breadth of Howard's experience in the videogame industry obviously gives him a significant edge in that arena, but I'm confident that his managerial savvy will make him a formidable contender in any field of endeavor.
