The
arms were
devised by the
armiger in 2014.
The main charge,
the cross of
Saint Chad,
refers to the
armiger's patron
saint, St. Chad
of Litchfield,
and his pursuit
of religious
studies. The
dogwood flowers
(Cornus Florida)
are from the
state flower of
Virginia. The
barry wavy lines
represent the
waters where the
armiger and his
family enjoy
many hours of
fishing in the
states of both
Virginia and
West Virginia.
The
crest ties
together the
armiger's shared
state
connection, as
the Northern
Cardinal
(Cardinalis
Cardinalis) is
the state bird
in both states.
The Madonna
lilly (Lilium
Candidum) in the
crest represents
the armiger's
devotion to Our
Lady of
Walsingham.
Finally, the
motto honours
the armiger's
German heritage
with the
sentiment of
making right
things in his
life.
