Dr. Howells received a commission into the United States Air Force, and he completed the APA-accredited Clinical Psychology Residency Program at the Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center. Subsequently, he worked as an active duty psychologist, providing a variety of psychological services to military members and spouses, and serving in several different leadership roles.
