Brad Howell

I grew up in Kelso, Washington and became an avid Seahawks fan at an early age thanks in part to my mother’s not-so-secret crush on Steve Largent. My career in the U.S. Air Force has kept me from residing in the NW for some time but my commitment to Seahawks fandom has never wavered. I am passionate about researching and discussing the Seahawks, especially in-game decision-making and strategy, and am very excited to write for 12th Man Rising.
