Michael "Mike" Gregory Rowe, a renowned television personality, was born on March 18, 1962, and has since made a name for himself as the charismatic host, narrator, and executive producer of one of Discovery Channel's most iconic and enduring programs, Dirty Jobs.

In this groundbreaking series, Mike embarks on a thrilling journey, venturing to various parts of the world to tackle and document the most grueling, unconventional, and often reviled occupations that exist. His fearless approach and infectious enthusiasm have endeared him to audiences worldwide, as he delves into the unglamorized, yet crucial, jobs that keep our societies functioning.
