He also loves to watch movies and is a diehard sports fan, especially the University of Michigan football team.  His favorite movie is Neverending Story and he is the World's biggest Harry Potter fan.  He loves all types of music including some country (Heads Carolina, Tails California is one of the best songs ever).
