I think I found my patron saint. The circumstances are just too uncanny.
Besides the obvious, homo, his feast day is my birthday. He died on November 13th, 1197. He was a man that did everyday things extroidinarily well. he was a businessman, and a lover of honesty, virtue and self-respect. Good things happened to those he helped. In 1997, His Holiness, Pope John Paul II wrote a letter regarding him.
Homobonus means good man in Latin. In some instances St. Homobonus is referred to as Uomobuono, Homobono, Homobonius, Omobono, and Omobonus. There was a church in Rome with the name Sant'Omobono.
Currently there is an SCA affiliated festival feast in his honor in Finland.
--Motto--
Mens conscia recti

This is the motto on the Phillips coat of arms.
PLEASE STAND BY...
