Howard Joseph Ruff was born in Berkeley, California on December 27, 1930. After finishing high school, he served a two-year mission in the eastern United States for the Mormon Church. He later majored in music education at Brigham Young University with a minor in economics, but dropped out his senior year. He joined the Air Force and toured with its symphony as a baritone soloist. He also performed with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. In 1982, he released the album Howard Ruff Sings.He went on to run an Evelyn Wood speed-reading business. It helped make him a millionaire, but eventually failed and his franchise was revoked, forcing him to declare bankruptcy. After that, he became an investment adviser. He became a millionaire for a second time, but that business also failed.
In 1975 he started publishing a newsletter called Ruff Times, which mixed financial counsel with conservative commentary. It drew more than 175,000 subscribers. This lead to the syndicated weekly television program Ruff House. He also organized forums that offered investment advice and established companies that distributed natural vitamins and coins, as well as other for-profit and self-promotional ventures. By 2002, circulation of Ruff Times fell to 3,000.
He wrote several books including How to Prosper During the Coming Bad Years, Famine and Survival in America, and How to Prosper in the Age of Obamanomics: A Ruff Plan for Hard Times Ahead. He died from complications of Parkinson's disease on November 12, 2016 at the age of 85.
