Dedicated

Chief Executive Officer & Founder 

• Since exploring Alternative Energy as an investor, project leader, developer, and integrator, Howard was compelled to create ECT, Inc. with the goal of bringing senior research engineers and scientists together who were looking for ways to market new technology to clean water and fight pollution.  What Howard has researched and studied, most consider an asset for anyone looking into energy and carbon sequestration programs, particularly the market platforms that create innovative new pathways. Howard’s time “in the field” has given him valuable insight, with a commitment to technology that really exists, or could exist, if the barriers for entry into the market were opened.  
• One of the concerns Howard has after researching certain areas of commerce in the US is that citizens, companies, institutions, and branches of the United States Government have much to offer, but often sit dormant as vital outside contributors. Howard would like to work both in the field and in communities  that are interested in having these valuable resources come together and better support a global vision in serving the world, which he calls “LifeChoices.Info." 
• Howard is convinced change can take place by creating a structure that rewards all who challenge risks without changing the systems.  Staving off barriers by extending the life of Carbon-based economy through Effective, Efficient, & Equitable Technologies, Services, & Integrations.  He is an advisor to market leaders, and is one of four advisor members guiding America’s Renewable Energy and Advanced Engine Developments through REAED, which is led by NASA Award-Winning Engineers. 
• Howard has won national awards in CleanTech Open and was nominated into SolarImpulse Foundation for Sustainability. Today, he is leading new S&P through the placement of innovation in the field that has allowed him to mitigate over 60 lawsuits for California O&G. He attended the University of Mississippi and holds a BBA in Business and Minor in International Business.
