About

Isaac always had an affinity for stories and storytelling. Born and raised on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, Isaac started his journey at eight years old in theatrical productions, musical performances, and watching sports. His interest in broadcasting led him to begin working at Kong Radio Group in his hometown of Lihue. This experience opened Isaac's eyes to the importance of trustworthy media and provided a comprehensive understanding of various facets of radio production, including voice and music mixing, audio recording, audience engagement, and client collaboration, laying a solid foundation for his career.

​

Kong Radio also launched Isaac into the world of sports announcing. For two seasons, he was the No. 2 public address announcer and spotted for the No. 1 PA announcer at Kauai High School football games, infusing the stadium with energy and excitement. This firsthand experience ignited his passion for sports announcing and solidified his conviction to pursue a career in the field.

Eager to gain play-by-play experience as he entered college, Isaac sought out opportunities at the University of Oregon and within the community of Eugene. Isaac got involved in KWVA Sports Radio as a sophomore and as a junior was named the voice of Bushnell University women's volleyball, Lane Community College basketball, called a NCAA playoff volleyball match for ESPN+, and was the play-by-play commentator for three home games for the Emerald City Jaguars in their inaugural season as a minor-league basketball team. 

 

Outside of play-by-play, Isaac works in broadcast production with the University of Oregon Athletic Department; regularly appears on KWVA 88.1 FM and B1G+ as a color commentator; frequently serves as the in-studio mixer and producer for KWVA Sports Radio broadcasts; and regularly appears on pregame, halftime, and QuackSmack talk shows. Isaac knows that an understanding of every role involved in a broadcast makes him a better broadcaster and a more valuable team member to any organization. He has written game recaps for several Oregon sports, was a technical director and an anchor for Duck TV, and studied sports journalism abroad in Dublin, Ireland. ​

Whether it's in play-by-play, production, or reporting, Isaac is passionate about highlighting great moments, people, and stories through sports media. Isaac's goal in every broadcast is to provide the audience with a moment of awe or inspiration. Isaac's love of sports stems from jaw-dropping, nail-biting, and hold-your-breath scenarios that bring people together. To contextualize and present these life-changing experiences for viewers is what motivates him to work in sports broadcasting.
