Isaac was born June 9, 1974 in Kansas City, Missouri to Robert and Janet LacKamp. He was a 1992 graduate of Central High School in St. Joseph, Missouri and a 1997 graduate of Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska with a Bachelor of Science in Biology.

For the past 15 years he resided in San Diego, California where he worked in biopharmaceutical research. Isaac specialized in genetic sequencing and gene therapy for cancer treatment. He was also a sales and system consultant for integrated satellite and ground-based, marine navionics.
