In the summer before 8th grade, he injured his hand playing with fireworks; Most of his life he lived in Chicago. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, his mother and father took him to California and Florida.
In his early 20s, Gordon attended Southern Illinois University as a student. A year later he attended the University of South Florida in Tampa. After college, he went into sales. Ultimately he hoped to become a meteorologist.
Howie Gordon graduated with a degree in Meteorology in 2010 and started applying for positions in Meteorology. He briefly worked in sales in Chicago, Illinois and as usher at a movie theater in Lincolnshire, Illinois, but now works as a meteorologist for fourstateshomepage.com

In 2005 Howie was one of fourteen contestants in the American Big Brother 6. His secret partner in the game was his long term friend Rachel Plencner. Both Gordon and Plencner were part of the popular Sovereign Six alliance that battled with The Friendship alliance throughout the summer. Howie openly expressed his hatred for the other alliance, nicknaming them 'The Nerd Herd,' and often tried to unsettle them in the house, in particular April Lewis. Howie was evicted on Day 68 following a tie break vote from HoH, Ivette. Howie eventually had to choose between two friendship members in terms of who won the prize money, and he voted for Maggie, telling her of his regret that he had to choose between America's two most hated houseguests, instead of their two favourites - his friends Janelle Pierzina and Kaysar Ridha.
