Abrams, Howard

Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Illinois-Champaign and subsequently, a law degree.

Howard joined the U.S. Navy, where he became a Lt.jg. He left active duty after three years of service but continued his Naval career as a special agent for the Naval Investigative Service (NIS) – known today as NCIS. After several relocations, from East to West Coast, Howard spent the remainder of his career in San Diego, CA. He retired from NIS in 1987 after a distinguished career, during which he received numerous honors and distinctions.

Howard stayed busy after his “first” retirement; he joined the San Diego City Attorney’s Office as a consumer fraud investigator and was a partner in a private detective agency. To the endless delight of his family members, Howard even dabbled in acting – appearing in bit roles in several films and television shows.
