Howie   is   dangerous,   because   he   knows   how   to   fascinate   us   and   it   is   impossible   not   fall   in   his   hands.   He   is   danger,   because   of   his   black   eyes,   his   sweet   voice,   his   canella's   skin...   and,   specially,   because   of   his   heart   full   of   tenderness   that   put   us   all   crazy.

PURE TENTATION

If his friends call him "Latin Lover", for something must be! Howie wan this nickname, but also "Sweet D." and "Mr. Tranquility". It's true that with a girl nobody can wins besides him! But it's also true that his sweetness passes everything and nobody will never see him in bad mud. Howie has a golden heart and that is his best weapon in the time to seduce: he is sincere, loyal, faithfull, comprehensive, sweet and sensible. Can somebody resist to a guy like this?

LATIN FIRE

Howie can't hide his latin paxion: when he moves he is pure fire... In Orlando everybody know him, because nobody moves as he does on the dance tracks: "In fact I always liked to see people looking at me when I'm dancing, specially girls!". As if his body's movements were not enough, Howie likes to dress in a sexual way to show his muscles: "when I get out at night, I like to dress with small clothes so people can see my body. If I spent so much time in a gymnasion, I have to show myself!". He is a seduction expert and he confesses that his tecnic is "tell things that are going through my heart". He also says: "I like to prepare romantic scenes for my girlfriend or write her love songs". The right thing is that some songs for the group that he wrote were based on his own experiences. Himself tell us that he lived very romantic moments that he will never forget them, as walking on the beach with a school's girlfriend (he sang a song on her ear dedicated to her) or a dinner that he prepared to his last girlfriend: "My parents were not at home and I did everything myself... After a candle light dinner, we got in the car and went to the airport. It may seem very strange, but it was a very romantic moment".

LOST LOVES

Even if it seems impossible, Howie have already been hurt 2 times that now he prefers: "getting out with girls, but only as friends". He doesn't like very much talking about his emotions, but he told us that he has afraid to suffer again... For him, being in love is the most important thing in all world and he would be incaple to betray a girl. His lemma is "Treat the others as you would like to be treated", and for that he doesn't understand poeple that see love as a joke: "for me, loving is give everything... Maybe my mistake was that I espected the same from the other person".

He   is   the   younger   from   5   children,   but   he   was   never   a   spoiled   child.   His   parents   teached   him   to   fight   for   his   dreams   and   try   to   do   his   best.   He   tell   us   that   at   this   moment   he   is   on   Backstreet   Boys   because   of   his   parents'   advices.

HIS LIFE'S LOVE

Howie had already said many times: when he is in tournée with the group, he misses her. He speak with his parents almost every day and he doesn't stop thinking about them even a second: "My last thinking before getting on stage is for my mother. And the first thing I do when I get to a city is buy much presents for my parents and my brothers and sisters". Howie also confesses that he is a little jealous about A.J. and Nick, because they don't have to be away from their families during Backstreet Boys' tournées (A.J.'s mother works with them and Nick's parents always accompany him) and he tell us that at night, when he is alone on his hotel's room, some tears run through his face: "I miss very much my family. They have a special and important role in my life". Howie is very united to his older brother and sisters, he loves his mother and admires his father: "They had always been an example to follow, they are love and the motor of my life", says Howie.
