Is this DJ a radio personality or a dance club DJ?

The only Howie T I could find is a club DJ who isn't associated with New Jersey. 

No pun intended, but I'm not sure I'm on the right track!

I can't find a "Big Howie T," but it's possible he altered his stage
name over the years.

Take a look at this photo of Howie T. spinning discs at Girl Bar's
11th anniversary, at Girl Bar in West Hollywood:
http://www.girlbar.com/photos.html
(Type "Howie T" into your "Find" feature to find the photo quickly.)

Does he look like the DJ you remember?

Here's a bio of DJ Howard Tripp, aka "Howie T":
DJ Howie T (Howard Tripp), is a former dancer and has actually worked
all over the U.S. but his residence appears to be Tampa Bay:
Mixmaster Hall of Fame: 
http://www.teddwebb.com/showcase/mixmasters/howard_tripp.html
Note the sentence: "The Suncoast record pool ran by Tripp for over 23
years is one of the oldest record pools in the U.S. At one time 1/3 of
the national promotional Directors of major labels in New York City
came from Tripp?s office" which implies (correctly or not) that Tripp
was actually in a NYC city office.

I'm afraid I can't find a "Big Howie T" associated with New Jersey.
This is the best I've come up with, so far.

Regards,
nancylynn-ga

Howie is easy to recognize as he weighs in excess of 300 lbs.  He
worked at Bayshores in NJ last summer

I'm very sorry -- I've just struck out completely!

I certainly hope that one of my colleagues can locate Big Howie T.
(Perhaps a researcher who lives in the greater NYC, tri-state area can
find a lead on him.)

Good Luck!
