Rev and I are so excited to welcome Mike Henderson, the President of ABC, the Associated Builders and Contractors, Baltimore.

But before we dive in we take a moment to recognize Rev Al and the opening of the Thurgood Marshall Amenity Center. An amazing redevelopment of the PS103 School where Justice Marshall and many other notable Baltimorean's spent time learning. Now an amazing Amenity Center poised for greatness and change is on the way. Congrats Rev, we are so proud of you.

How about Mike Henderson, a visionary guy who came to the Associated Builders and Contractors of Baltimore over 30 years ago, starting off at the National office and then moving to the Baltimore office which he has headed for 28 years. Under Mike's leadership the creation of the MCCEI was possible as the industry was looking for ways to building solid pathways for students trying to enter the trades. He has overseen the expasion of the ABC Apprenticeship Program, now graduating men and women of all ages. Recently they moved to the East Side of Baltimore City another bold move for ABC, made possible by Mike's vision. We talk workforce, skills, and the many stories of sucess for young Apprentice's and the opportunitties that abound in the Built Environment.

Jump into this one and learn about the great things that are happening and at the ABC, and get a closer look at their leader Mike Henderson.

Thanks Mike for your vision and committment to our industry and for taking the time to join us on He's Holy & I'm Knott.

Rev. Al and I are excited to end the Vegas Series with the man whose vision makes all of this possible, Mr. Howard Perlow.

We were lucky to catch him as Howard is always busy attending to the needs of every person that shows up for the Maryland Party at the ICSC. He's created a monster. In the 3rd week of May every year for at least the last 20 years you can find the entire Maryland real estate industry and all of their vendors gathered around him at the Wynn.

If there's anyone that could fill 30 minutes with interesting cool stuff it's Howard Perlow. He's no stranger to He's Holy, I'm Knott and we are so happy to have him back. We really appreciate that he see's the value in our interviewing folks that come to Vegas for the ICSC Maryland Party.

The discussion is short and sweet...we get a little history lesson on the Maryland Party and he fills us in on all things ISCS. He and his team are amazing and they are working hard on behalf of all Marylander's for the week that we spend there every year.

Perlow's leadership is essential in gathering this group together. It's a tribute to this hard working Lancer, who has been community-minded since he was a young man.

Howard, thank you and your team for allowing us to promote your baby by telling this great story. We are looking forward to next year and the warm weather in Las Vegas for the Maryland Party 2025.

See everyone at the Wynn!

Rev. Al and I are set to finish the Vegas Series this week and today we have a Superstar sitting poolside with us, the great Aaron Tomarchio. He's making a huge impact on our City and County by leading the redevelopment of the former Bethlehem Steel site, aka Sparrows Point, now Tradepoint Atlantic. I met Aaron when he was working in Harford County during the O'Malley days, he was always ready to get things done, not much has changed.

At Tradepoint his responsibilities include overseeing government and regulatory affairs, public and community relations, and corporate marketing efforts. He has an extremely strong team around him but let's reflect on this place, it's got rail, it's got 50' Berths, and it's got tons of land. It's an understatement that this is a complex site, Aaron is handling it with grace and class.

Before joining Tradepoint Atlantic, Tomarchio had an extensive career in public administration, serving in various executive roles in Maryland's state and local government, including nine years as Chief of Staff to the Harford County Executive, David Craig. He also held positions with the Maryland Department of Planning and worked in corporate affairs at Erickson Living.

At Tradepoint Atlantic, Aaron has been instrumental in engaging with the community, ensuring transparency in the site's redevelopment process, and securing critical federal and state support for infrastructure development. Under his leadership, they are transforming the 3,300-acre site into a key economic driver for the region, with projections of creating over 10,000 jobs and generating $2.9 billion in annual economic impact. Tradepoint has played a major role in the aftermath of the Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse and we get into the details of Tradepoint's immediate and long term plans resulting from that tragedy.

Come along with us as you roll down the road to a Thanksgiving Dinner and learn about this guy, he's a superstar, and definitely Holy along with the Rev, and I'm Knott...

Happy Thanksgiving....
