During the design phase of the armiger’s arms, he knew he wanted to show his family's naval heritage as well as his award of Eagle Scout. He originally started with five fouled anchors to symbolize that he was the fifth known generation in naval service, but then realised that any future generations who enter the Navy would be stuck with that number of anchors, so he reduced the number to one, but then charged it with a compass rose to distinguish it from other fouled anchors throughout heraldic history and to symbolise the moral path we should all seek to follow. The colours Azure and Or for the field and anchor are an obvious choice. The Armiger chose an invected chief to represent the larger waves often found in the open sea.

The order of the leaves on the chief show that the armiger was born an American and would always be an American. The maple leaf also shows that he embrace his wife's Canadian heritage.

The bald eagle is the national bird of the United States, but is found throughout North America. The fleur-de-lis is the international emblem of Scouting, and combined with the eagle signifies the rank of Eagle Scout. Should the armiger’s son not attain the rank of Eagle Scout, the crest still works because of his wife's French-Canadian ancestry.

The motto means "I am always ready to serve my country."
