The shield is inspired by the arms of St. Francis de Sales, patron of the city of Columbus, Ohio, in which the armiger was born and raised. The central charge on the shield is the Cross, a symbol of the armiger’s faith and focus on Christ in all that he does. The arms of this particular Cross (called a cross flory) each terminate in a fleur-de-lis, a stylized lily often used as a symbol of the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph. In addition, the fleur-de-lis represents the armiger’s patron, St. Jean Marie Baptiste Vianney, and the Holy Trinity. The Cross flory also appears on the Dominican order’s arms, whose friars staffed the armiger’s childhood parish and greatly influenced him. At the top and bottom of the shield, wheels, specifically spiked “Catherine wheels” allude to the armiger’s surname, Carter. | The shield is inspired by the arms of St. Francis de Sales, patron of the city of Columbus, Ohio, in which the armiger was born and raised.
