Howard is a graduate of Emmaus High School in Emmaus, Pennsylvania and the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. He has spent over a decade working in the video game industry.
Howard joined the fledgling Bethesda game development studio in 1994. One of his first assignments was to work on the first Elder Scrolls game, Elder Scrolls: Arena. Over the years, he continued to contribute to various titles, and is currently Executive Producer of The Elder Scrolls series, and of Fallout 3. Howard has commented that he intends to avoid inclusion of mindless filler in any of Bethesda's games, especially Oblivion, something that he admits has happened in the past. He says that, even while each game is the previous one's sequel, total reinvention is possible.
His major credits include being project leader and designer of Morrowind, design on Daggerfall, Producer, designer of The Terminator: Future Shock and SkyNET and executive producer of Fallout 3. He was also the project leader and designer of The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard.
Howard has stated that Bethesda's philosophy for the Elder Scrolls games is to allow people to "Live another life, in another world."
