Isaiah was born and raised in Arlington, Texas. Although he did not grow up attending church, he came to saving faith in Christ during his senior year of high school after hearing the gospel preached while attending church with friends. This moment marked a decisive turning point in his life.
Through the discipleship of his Student Pastor, Warren Camp, Isaiah developed a growing love for the local church and ministry. Soon after his conversion, he began to sense a call toward vocational ministry and received affirmation from church leaders to pursue it. He initially attended the College of Southwestern Seminary (now Texas Baptist College) before transferring to the University of Texas at Arlington.
In February 2018, Isaiah began his first ministry role as the part-time Youth Minister at Friendship Baptist Church in Weatherford, Texas. In May 2019, after Warren Camp became Pastor of First Baptist Church in Fort Stockton, Texas, Isaiah accepted a call to join him and serve as Associate Student Pastor, where he ministered for several years. During this time, Isaiah reconnected with Jamison, a longtime friend from high school, and they were married in July 2021.
In 2023, Isaiah joined Fairway Baptist Church as Youth Minister and now serves as Family Pastor. He is grateful for the church and is committed to faithfully shepherding its people.
Isaiah enjoys spending time with his wife, Jamison, their daughter Eleanor, and their son Ezekiel. He also enjoys being outdoors, sports, and time with friends.
