his MBA from Capella University in Minneapolis, MN, in 2013. While completing his Master's degree, he accepted an adjunct instructor position in
the Southern Tier of New York State, teaching clerical accounting. Positive student
feedback quickly lead to a full-time position that found him teaching a wide range
of business subjects on two different campuses in both Elmira and Binghamton, NY.
He has been teaching accounting every semester over the last nine years, and student
reviews exemplify his ability to demystify any of the various subjects he delivers.
No matter what subject David teaches, students attest that his classes are both fun
and engaging.
Beekeeping is one of Professor Howe's many hobbies. He owns and manages a small business
company known as Raw Gold Honey, LLC. Part of his summer is spent tending to his hives
located in Charlottesville, VA, and in his hometown of Newfield, NY. As a beekeeper,
he not only produces honey he also sells beehives. In addition, he is highly sought
after by homeowners in the Finger Lakes region for honeybee rescue operations to remove
infestations from residential properties.
Professor Howe is also a published author. While at Ithaca College, he wrote for The
Ithacan, at renowned Park School of Communications, outside his business curriculum.
His debut novel, The Angle of the Angels, was released on June 28, 2021. His first
non-fiction work focuses on entrepreneurship and is now being submitted to publishers
for consideration.
Other hobbies the professor engages in are writing music or studying piano pieces
by Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven. In addition, he enjoys fishing for trout below Treman
Park or Archery hunting in and around the Danby State Forest in the fall.
