Todd Kryger - Former NHL player, now sells insurance here
Jennifer Granholm - Current Governor of Michigan. Although shes Canadian, Northville is her residence.

I forgot Briuce Lee was born in San Francisco. He moved back to Hong Kong after he was born. His parents were Chinese opera singers touring in the US when he was born.

Andrew Johnson, Clay Aiken, Pete Maravich. But I predict within 10 years, it'll be Evan Rachel Wood.

Since this is a soccer board, Roy Lassiter deserves a mention.
