"This means something to me" in this case means that it is meaningful or important to him. To "mean something" or to "mean a lot" can be used in similar contexts to express that something is very important to someone. Ex: You mean a lot to me. Ex: Thank you for your help, it means a lot! Ex: Be careful with the plates, they mean a lot to me. They used to be my grandmother's.
