<p>Howes was born and raised in <a href="Ann_Arbor%2C_Michigan" title="Ann Arbor, Michigan">Ann Arbor, Michigan</a>. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering, a Master of Science in Computer Science and Engineering and a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering, all from the <a href="University_of_Michigan" title="University of Michigan">University of Michigan</a>.
</p><p>While at the University of Michigan, Howes was tasked with creating a campus-wide directory service using the X.500 standard. X.500 directories list network resources to make finding them and using them easier for network administrators and users. Unfortunately, accessing X.500 records has required a full-blown X.500 server; there was no such thing as an X.500 client. This led Howes to co-create <a href="DIXIE" title="DIXIE">DIXIE</a>, a directory client for X.500 directories (as well as contribute significant enhancements to improve performance of the <a href="Quipu_Directory" class="mw-redirect" title="Quipu Directory">Quipu</a> directory).

The first publicly available version of LDAP was published in 1993.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
