Personal Crest

The areas in my personal crest are broken up to include:

Family-in the center, I live with my wife and two boys, I have a fifteen year old daughter in California that I am very close with, I have two brothers and a sister, and we get along very well, and my mother and father have been together for fifty years, until my father died recently. Family is definitely the most important part of my life.

Friends-in the lower right, I have a group of friends that I have known for about forty years, then other close friends as well.  They allow me to feel comfortable and grounded.

Sports-in the lower left, though I don’t have much time anymore, I grew up playing and watching sports including soccer, football, baseball, basketball, skateboarding, mountain biking, and surfing.

Nature-in the upper left, I have been involved in landscape/horticulture for over 25 years, a huge part of the reason I got involved in the field was because I enjoyed being outside, and being a landscape designer, you can manipulate and cooperate with nature.

Humor-in the upper right, I have an older brother who is one of the most humorous people I know, and we grew up trying to make each other laugh, which is very important to me.
