he/him/his

Issac grew up in southern Indiana and spent a lot of his time during high school doing youth advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights and for LGBTQ+ youth’s rights in schools across the state. Since then, that passion has not gone anywhere and he is excited to bring those experiences to his work with Keshet as their Midwest Youth Engagement Manager. He works with LGBTQ+ Jewish youth across the Midwest hosting inclusive immersive experiences where youth can be their full selves and developing their leadership skills.

Prior to working with Keshet, Issac worked with various non-profits in Chicago, organizing for seniors’ rights and economic justice in the city. Currently, he is a member of the Jewish Council on Urban Affairs and its sister organization JCUA Votes. Issac graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a BA in Game Art and double minored in Women, Gender and Sex Studies & Animation. He is currently pursuing a Master’s of Public Health from the University of Illinois Chicago. He lives in Chicago and likes to spend his free time playing games with friends. He hopes to write and publish his own comic book series one day.
