Mike Rowe shared stories about his television series, Dirty Jobs.
ike Rowe, best known as host of the Discovery Channel’s “Dirty Jobs,” paid a visit to Ohio CAT’s Sharonville store on Aug 1. Rowe shared stories about his experiences with “Dirty Jobs” and discussed his affiliation with Caterpillar. According to Rowe, he conceived the show as a tribute to his father and grandfather, explaining that his grandfather worked in a number of trades and had even built the house that Rowe grew up in. He signed autographs and spent time mingling with all in attendance. The following evening, Rowe headed to a Caterpillar sponsored pizza party at Dudley Construction Company in Florence, Ky. The event was part of Caterpillar Inc.’s “Say Thanks” campaign and contest that salutes skilled laborers across the United States for their dedication and hard work. Dudley Construction Company’s Equipment Manager Mike List entered the winning submission with a write up on the company and
