Mike Rowe, creator, executive producer and host of the Discovery Channel's hit show, "Dirty Jobs," will be speaking in the Phillips Center at the University of Florida on January 20. Rowe has spent many years traveling the country, working on over 200 of the dirtiest jobs

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.
