Biographical information
Born in 1978 to John and Sherry (Pride) Acuff, Peter Zebulon ‘Zeb’ Acuff grew up in Delaware and developed his love for the outdoors through Boy Scouts and sailing on Chesapeake Bay. After earning a bachelor’s degree in Natural Resource Management from the University of Delaware in 2001, he attended graduate school for Urban Planning and Natural Resource Policy at the University of Michigan. Following the receipt of his dual master’s degrees, Zeb married Tiffany Webster, whom he met while in Michigan. Both Zeb and Tiffany have gone out into the world, teaching disciplemaking in obedience to Jesus Christ’s Great Commission. Their son, Isaac Caleb, was born in 2006; they expect their second child in spring 2009.
Design rationale
The tinctures used represent land and water, echoing Zeb’s passion for the environment. Blue and gold also stand for Zeb’s two alma maters, the University of Delaware and the University of Michigan, while green is his favorite color. The cross crosslets individually symbolize the evangelism of the Gospel to the four corners of the world; collectively, the three figures represent the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The chevron both stands for Zeb’s chosen profession of urban planning (allied with the building trades) and echoes his heritage in the Scottish Clan Mackay.The Great Blue Heron of the crest suggests environmental concern, a love of birding, and Zeb’s upbringing in the Mid-Atlantic/Chesapeake Bay area.
