A brief introduction

My name is Howell Gibbens and I am running for Fairhope City Council Place 4. I was born in New Orleans in 1965; my parents met at LSU. We moved to Fairhope in 1978, and into our current house in the Fruit and Nut in 1980. Since then, I’ve had a long and successful career as a motion picture sound designer; I rode an R1200GS motorcycle solo from Tokyo to London via Rome; and I spent the last few years working as a manual machinist at Marine Exhaust Systems of Alabama on Nichols. As of May 2024, I’ve been a stay-at-home dad. My wife, Olga, works in Mobile doing IT. We attend St. Lawrence Catholic Church.
