Music:

I like all kinds of music from Seal to Pantera, Tupac to Incubus. I'm mostly an alternative metal head kinda guy that still digs glam rock! I won't even lie to you, I like disco! When The Pond Diggers, and I are building a custom one of a kind water feature the creativity really pours out when we can blast System of A Down!

Movies:

HORROR FLICKS! I love a good movie, but it has to be good or you'll find me snoring! Action movies, sports movies, and I can handle a good chick flick every now and again simply because it makes my wife happy but the truth betold I think the movie Kung Fu Hustle, Kicks Ass!

Television:

I get a kick outta watching American Idol, so many idiots, so few bullets! Mostly cartoons with my kids! You know; Fairly Odd Parents, Jimmy Newtron, etc.

Books:

Larry Winget Rules! READ THESE BOOKS AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
"Shut Up, Stop Whining & Get a Life!"
"It's Called Work For a Reason, Your Success is Your Own Damn Fault!"
Mostly books on business and/or watergardens, fish or ponds. Books on baseball history and collectibles. I have read several Stephen King books too.

Heroes:

Sports Heros: Peyton Manning, Michael Jordan, Rickey Henderson, Terry Bradshaw, Mean Joe Green, Franco Harris, Lynn Swann, Clinton Portis, Pete Rose
Business: Anthony Archer-Wills - quite possibly the GREATEST POND BUILDER EVER, Tony Robbins, Tom the MySpace genius and of course the studdly Ben Franklin!
Real Life Heros: The men and women in the Armed Forces that have lived and died for my rights as an American citizen in order for me to live the American Dream! Firefighters and Police Officers, Sheriffs and Highway Patrol officers.
