Back when I knew Mike Rowe

Twenty five years ago I worked for a digital media company in Philadelphia whose work included a weekly TV program called "Body Sense" underwritten by Prevention Magazine. It was a hokey basic cable program with a host we poached from QVC. His name was Mike Rowe, a nobody with up and coming attitude.
Mike was often found wondering the corridors of our offices and always attended the raucous parties we threw regularly. I guess I just want to say that Mike was as down-to-earth a guy as you could imagine and nothing betrays his Eagle Scout aesthetic. I love you Mike Rowe, and all you stand for.

QVC had production studios in suburban Philly, right?

What i remember was Mike watching us “creative” types drink ourselves to death as he sipped his drink in the corner.

I completely fan-girled and got an autographed copy of his book “The Way I Heard It” love his “Returning The Favor” show on Facebook.

Neat, just reinforced my opinion that he is exactly who and what he seems to be. Great guy, great American.

Mike has a podcast kinda Paul Harvey-like.
"The Way I Heard It." Little five-minute stories.

They call him The Wonderer. Yeah, he’s The Wonderer. His thoughts abound, abound, abound.

He’s shorter than you’d think. (but aren’t all onscreen heroes?) Mike is boyishly charming and utterly adorable in person.
