The
armiger is Lord of
the Manor of
Heathfield, a
Market Town in
East Sussex, and
is a Member of the
Manorial Society
of Great Britain.
He is American,
with English
ancestry on his
maternal side
which extends back
into the East
Sussex region,
including
Heathfield. He
also has ties
maternally to the
Rutherford Clan of
Scotland. It is
these ancestral
links that led to
him acquiring the
Lordship of the
Manor of
Heathfield.
A board certified
Family Medicine
Physician, the
armiger provides
primary healthcare
services to a
large panel of
patients in the
Northeast Ohio
area, and has an
appointment at the
Northeast Ohio
Medical University
as a Clinical
Assistant
Professor of
Family &
Community
Medicine. In
addition to
medicine, his
interests include
fountain pens,
horology, history,
and the natural
sciences.
|
In
2025, he was granted
a Coat of Arms, a
Badge, and a
Standard via Letters
Patent from the
College of Arms in
London. He is also a
member of the
American Academy of
Family Medicine, the
Ohio Academy of
Family Physicians,
and serves on the
Medical Advisory
Board for the APS
Foundation of
America.
The arms utilize the
armiger's favourite
colour of green,
which is also
represented on the
town flag of
Heathfield. His
beloved Persian cat
Autumn is situated
upon the crest,
holding a fleam,
which reflects the
armiger's vocation
as a Physician. Four
Caribbean Hermit
Crabs are featured
in saltire, these
being a reference to
the armiger's hobby
of crab-keeping, as
well as his Scottish
heritage as a member
of Clan Rutherford,
an Armigerous Clan,
presently without a
Chief.
The Latin motto "Sic
Vita Est"
meaning "such is
life" or "thus is
life" in the
Scottish tradition
"answers" that of
the Clan's motto
"Nec Sorte, Nec Fato
(Neither by chance
nor fate).
