The arms allude to the armiger's Scottish descent in both lines.

His father's family comes from Avoch, a fishing village on the Black Isle near Inverness. His mother's family are of the Clan MacColl (original members of Clan Donald, hence the lymphads) from the Isle of Mull and later Glasgow. He is third-generation clergy in the Episcopal Church, alluded to by the Trinitarian arrangement of salmon in base.

The crest is a visual allusion to his father's childhood nickname for him: "Rodger the Lark."

The motto alludes to Hebrews 6:19, "We have this hope, a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul."

Personal and ecclesiastical arms designed by Fr. Sinclair Ender, heraldic artist and Episcopal priest.
