Career

Rowe earned his high school diploma in 2009.[2][3] He was a Christian missionary and educator throughout Southeast Asia. While based in Taiwan, he attended National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU).[4][5] Rowe established LBG Fitness Inc., a CrossFit gym, in 2010.[6]

The East Buffalo Township Board of Supervisors selected Rowe to succeed Michael Daniloff in March 2018.[7][8] After Fred Keller vacated his seat in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives District 85 on May 24, 2019, Rowe contested the open seat.[9] This necessitated Rowe's resignation from his East Buffalo Township post, in which he was succeeded by Jim Murphy.[10][11] Rowe secured the Republican Party nomination, and defeated Democratic Party candidate Jennifer Rager-Kay, as well as write-in candidate Clair Moyer.[12] Rowe was sworn in as a member of the Pennsylvania House on September 17, 2019.[13][14] In January 2020, Rowe announced that he would seek reelection.[4][5] No opposing candidate filed by the deadline to challenge Rowe's incumbency.[15] He defeated Katie Evans in the general election.[16]
