When he was three years old, they moved to the English town of Felixstowe, Suffolk. They subsequently moved to Virginia, followed by South Korea, where they settled in Seoul. When he was 10 years old, his family moved to Alabama.[4] After graduating from Jefferson Davis High School in Montgomery, Alabama, he spent two years at New World School of the Arts of Miami Dade College.

Howerton is most notably involved in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005-) as one of the main cast, producer and director, he also has written numerous episodes. He planned to be executive producing on the comedy show Boldly Going Nowhere with his It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia co-creators, before the show was delayed.
