The
fouled anchor is
representative of
the armiger's
grandfather’s
service in the US
Navy and promotion
to Chief Petty
Officer. The crest
was developed by
the armiger to
honor his parents
– The Crosses
represent Timothy
(Greek - Honoring
God) and Rhonda
(Welsh - Good
Spear). The Opals
are the birthstone
of Timothy,
Rhonda, and Brian.
The full meaning
of the crest is
Brian Issuing from
Timothy and
Rhonda.

in Tippacanoe
County, IN while
