He is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Despite his diabetes he served a full time mission in Tempe Arizona from 2004 to 2006, even though the only way for him to go required an additional $400 a month for personal medical insurance to cover his Type I diabetes.

Isaiah was involved in Student government at BYU-Idaho and this was to be his last semester plus one class.

Isaiah had a "secret" persona as "Captain Happy" a super hero. He loved to make people happy and developed this super hero as a result of a high school assignment. He was sometimes glimpsed with his yellow smiley face cape throughly enjoying life and meeting new people.

Isaiah started to secretly write poetry in Junior High School, and continued throughout his life. He was very popular for the raps he wrote, especially for the local missionaries answering machines.
