Rendition
of Arms by Natalie Yegorov, Russian College of Heraldry.
The armiger has a genealogical line to
ancestors in the Isle of Wight (Virginia USA) in the early 1630's. However, the
Penningtons have circumstantial evidence that this branch of Penningtons is
linked to cadet branches of the Penningtons of Muncaster, Cumberland/Cumbria,
England. For this reason the armiger drew inspiration from the Pennington of
Muncaster arms (Or, five fusils in fess Azure) but heavily differenced the
armorial achievement. The choice of Or and Azure as primary colours of the arms
pays tribute to Pennington of Muncaster as does the crest and motto chosen.
The armiger
holds a degree in finance from the University of Louisville, Chartered Life
Underwriter and Chartered Financial Consultant designations from The American
College, a Chartered Wealth Advisor designation from Michigan State University,
a Certified Financial Planner designation from the College of Financial
Planning, and (at the time of publication) is currently completing a Master’s in
Business Administration from Indiana University and a Juris Doctor (equivalent
to a LLB in England) from Northwestern California University in addition to
several securities and insurance licenses.
The armiger
serves as a wealth planner for financial institutions, owns part of a Motor
Dealer franchise, and is full owner of a company devoted to integrating heraldry
into historical recreations. He married Deborah Michelle Johnson on April 22,
2001 and they reside in Corydon, IN.
