Rowe has worked in just about every industry and has filmed in most every state. Rowe celebrates hard-working Americans who make life possible for the rest of us. Recently, Rowe launched a website called mikeroweWORKS.com, where skilled labor and hard work are featured and celebrated. Rowe's hope when he created the site, was to bolster enrollment in trade schools and technical colleges.
