Mike Rowe is the creator and host of the widely-watched and acclaimed show "Dirty Jobs" on the Discovery Channel. I'm sure you have also seen him on television and the web talking about his relationships with Ford Motor Company, Caterpillar, Inc., VF Corp/Lee Jeans and Kimberly-Clark. What you may not know is that Mike is dedicated to promoting the skilled trades, including our construction-related industries, in an effort to address image and workforce issues.

Through his website, mikeroweWORKS.com, young and not-so-young alike are exposed to the great industry we work in, are given lots of resources to help make informed choices as to career and technical job options and information as to where they may find schools and financial aid to help them achieve their goals. If you have not already done so, I encourage you to visit www.mikeroweWORKS.com for yourself.

The site will give you an idea of the broad scope of his mission. As is evident by his involvement with the recently launched "I Make America" (www.imakeamerica.com) and "Go Build Alabama" (www.gobuildalabama.com) campaigns, Mike is not just talking about things, he is doing them!
