After growing up in East Lismore and graduating from Lismore High School Isaac met his wife Denise just before commencing a degree in Media at Southern Cross University. Despite the pressures of study and work, Isaac & Denise were married in July of 1995. They now have three beautiful children, Rien (10) Amber (8) and Deianera (3) and are expecting their fourth child in late August this year.

After finishing his degree and further study, Isaac began lecturing at Southern Cross University. In 2006, while still teaching, he sought to start his own business and began a local website that promoted community groups and events as well as locally owned businesses. The business idea came from his belief in the importance of keeping services, products and employment as local as possible. Along with his own website, Isaac does media consulting for organisations such as NSW Health and The Northern Rivers Social Development Council, along with other local groups.

Due to the success of his business, he reluctantly withdrew from lecturing at university at the end of 2007 to focus more on his community and his business interests. It is this passion for his city that draws Isaac to Lismore City Council. With a keen insight on living with a young family, Isaac believes that others at this stage in life are under represented in local Govenment. This family presepective is one he hopes to make heard if he is given the opportunity to serve the people of Lismore as a councillor.

Isaac might be an average soccer player, but enjoys his role as Player/Manager of the Goonellabah Men's 4th division team. He also currently serves as a parent representative on the School Council at his childrens school, Summerland Christian College. His experience in broad ranging local committees over the past 15 years is a very good grounding for the challenges of being a Councillor. It is also a challenge he is ready and willing to accept.
