About Me
Isaiah grew up in the Chicago suburbs as the oldest of five boys. He has since spent time abroad as a missionary in Mozambique, Africa, and attended high school in Redding, California before moving to Arizona for college in 2019. He is currently attending his final year at Grand Canyon University and will graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Biology with Emphasis in Pre-Physical Therapy in April of 2023. In addition, he is a Certified Personal Trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. Having been a PT Technician for multiple therapists at Spooner Biltmore since 2021, Isaiah has gained specific interest in the areas of sports and athletic performance, general orthopedics, and neurological rehabilitation. In the future, Isaiah plans to attend a DPT program and become a Physical Therapist, helping people to overcome physical setbacks and promote a healthy and holistic lifestyle for the rest of his career. Being from Chicago, Isaiah is a die-hard Bears fan! Isaiah loves weightlifting, sports, and playing his guitar in his free time.
