Commissioner Fowler served 17 years as an association executive director in Alabama, working with industries such as chemical manufacturing, cable/broadband telecommunications, and agribusiness. He also worked for five years in the Washington, DC, area, first as a legislative assistant to the late Sen. Howell Heflin and then as a congressional liaison for Rockwell International, a major defense and aerospace company.

Aside from his professional career, Commissioner Fowler is a co-host of the Bluegrass Revival Jam, a bluegrass music event in Montgomery, AL. He also has served as a board member and treasurer of Legacy, Partners in Environmental Education, and as a board member of the Alabama Civil Justice Reform Committee.
