Howard H. Frederick was a professor of entrepreneurship who mentored budding entrepreneurs in the US, Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region. He was the lead author of the Asia-Pacific version of an award-winning textbook on entrepreneurship; it has been translated into Mandarin and Malay.[1] He lived in the United States about half of his life.

Early life and education[edit]

Howard’s mother Peggee was a model and journalist, and his father, Howard senior, worked as an engineer after serving in the Army Corps of Engineers. The family moved from Seattle, WA, to Eugene, Oregon, when Howard was a young boy, and ultimately settled in Indio, California.

During his senior year at Indio High School he was an AFS Intercultural Programs exchange student to Austria; this experience ignited a lifelong desire to travel and explore other cultures. He had a particular passion for Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Pacific Island nations.

Career[edit]

He attended Stanford University in the late 1960s and like many of his generation, was moved by Dr. Martin Luther King’s nonviolent struggle for civil rights. As an example of the principled stance he held, he resigned from his fraternity the night of Dr. King’s assassination, when they refused to call off a scheduled party.

Following graduation from Stanford in 1971, Howard continued to work for social justice. He joined the team at Agape Foundation, making grants to promote draft resistance, non-violent direct action and an end to the war against Vietnam.

In 1976, Howard decided to pursue graduate studies. He worked nights as a taxi driver in San Francisco while completing his master’s degree at San Francisco State University. In 1983, he earned a PhD in International Relations, with a focus on communications, at the American University, in Washington, DC. From there the family followed his academic career to Staunton, Virginia (Mary Baldwin College) and Athens, Ohio (Ohio University). While in Ohio, Howard led several student groups to Cuba, where they explored the differences in communications policy and practice under Castro vs. in the U.S.

Returning to California in 1989, Howard worked for the Institute for Global Communications (IGC) and became director of its new email venture “PeaceNet.”[2] He was fascinated by fresh technologies and opportunities. He won a Fulbright Fellowship to Austria, and held faculty positions at Cal State San Bernardino, the American University, Emerson University in Boston, and in 1992, completed a textbook on Global Communications & International Relations.

In mid-life Howard pivoted from mass communications to entrepreneurship and would go on to mentor budding entrepreneurs in Germany, the Asia-Pacific region, Latin America and the US.

He gave his last lectures at Plymouth State, NH, USA. He took great pride as his students won multiple national awards for their projects. He suffered an early death at 72.[5] Post mortem the university's 2021 Panther Pitch was dedicated to him for being "a leader in entrepreneurship education." [6]

Personal life and death[edit]

He met his first wife, Claire Gorfinkel, in a 1972 demonstration trying to stop the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise from sailing to Vietnam. They were married in 1973, and set out to pursue their dreams of working for peace and social change. For several years they focused on reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians.

After their only daughter, Carrie, was born in 1976, Howard decided to pursue graduate studies. Howard and Claire were divorced in 1995. Howard's second wife was Hanna.
