MY KIDS: They have given me a sense of calm, belonging, meaning, and importance that I never had before their arrival. This box of cards that they made is a daily reminder that I am better because of them.
WEDDING RING: My world changed for the better when I put this ring on for good. It also means the world to me because the ring I wear is the one my grandfather wore. My grandmother gave it to me after he passed away—they were married 57 years.
CHALLENGE COIN COLLECTION: Military tradition that I take very seriously. Challenge coins are given as recognition of a job well done. It brings me back to some of the best memories of my life.
SIGNED RAVENS SUPER BOWL BALL: My wife and I were in New Orleans and saw the game live. That feeling when the game ended is a feeling I won’t forget.
THE ECONOMIST MAGAZINE. Don’t agree with everything, but the point of learning is not to agree with everything you read, but to use it to inform a position. This magazine helps you do that.
RUNNING SHOES: Despite bad knees, running is a passion. Baltimore is a great running city too, because of the hills.
MACH3 RAZORS: From the top of my head to the bottom of my neck, my Mach3 keeps me fresh. There is something about those three blades.
KINDLE: I am a traditionalist who loves the feeling of paper, but when I am traveling this is my trusty companion.
JERK SEASONING: Greatest spice ever. There is hardly anything that doesn’t taste better with a little heat. With my Jamaican roots, every bite reminds me of my family heritage.
CIGARS: My true vice. Since I don’t hang out at barbershops for the conversation anymore, cigar shops are a great place to debate issues of the day.
