Isaac was introduced to the performing arts at a very early age. He started dancing at the age of 7 at Sheryl's Dance Academy in Clinton, Iowa, where he grew up. Two years into his dancing career, Isaac burst on to the competitive dance scene and won Best Overall Duet with his partner Sean Williams at his first competition. Isaac continued to dance competitively throughout high school and college, winning numerous titles along the way.

Isaac's dancing ability helped lead him down the path to musical theatre. His first production was in second grade when he was cast as Prince Charming in Cinderella (only because he could waltz and keep a beat!). This first production led to many more in the young years of his career - many of them being at the local regional theatre in town, the Clinton Area Showboat. The others being at his school, Prince of Peace. Both of these places shaped him into the performer he is today and he is grateful for the opportunities they gave him.

Isaac attended Western Illinois University in 2010. It was there that he took leaps and bounds in his theatre education and grew immensely, performing on campus and at regional theaters throughout the country. He graduated with a B.F.A. in Musical Theatre as an Honors Scholar and Magna Cum Laude in the spring of 2014.

The next career move was a literal one. He moved to Chicago to pursue the arts. His time in the Windy City was successful, but short lived. While at Tibbits Summer Theatre in Coldwater, Michigan, a mentor convinced him that he was ready for the Big Apple. He moved to New York City in the fall of 2015 and has been living the dream ever since.
