Isaac was born and raised in Santa Cruz, California. In January 2021, he packed up his most precious belongings and made the 6-hour drive to live in beautiful SoCal! He is currently a junior at Cal State Fullerton majoring in Kinesiology working towards his bachelor’s degree.
Growing up Isaac played a variety of sports, but the one he really fell in love with was wrestling. Starting from the 5th grade there wasn’t a day where he didn’t think about getting on a mat. In his senior year of high school just weeks before a big California tournament, one of his teammates landed on his knee(I still give him a hard time for it to this day). The season for Isaac ended right then and there, no matter how many “I’m good” lies he told. Although his competitive career ended, he saw all the treatment and help given to him and felt inspired. He wanted to help people get back to what they love as well.
In his free time, Isaac enjoys a wide range of activities. He loves to play guitar and go on beach runs(something he dearly misses living in Buena Park) as well as boxing. He also loves to watch sports such as basketball! Even though he did not grow up in Southern California he was raised in a purple and gold household, which was very hard when everyone became a Warriors fan all of a sudden!
