Early Life

Isaac’s mother transferred him and his siblings from the Bronx to Naples, Florida, when he was ten years old to get away from an uncomfortable living situation.

The move not only ushered in a new way of life but also ignited a passion for something that would change everything: basketball.

There wasn’t any sibling rivalry in the house; instead, Isaac and his older brother, Jacob, had a solid bond.

The chivalry between the two inspired Isaac to pursue basketball further, and the flame that was lit in Naples continues to burn to this day.

It was a match made in heaven when his newly discovered love for the game coincided with his growth surge.
