Isaiah was born and raised on the foothills of the Ngorongoro Highland Forest, in Karatu which was the start of his passion for wildlife and nature. After school, he joined the tourism industry and worked for a big hotel chain for 8 years. He then decided that his passion was more in teaching conservation and so went back to college and studied Wildlife Management. He was a resident guide for a property based in the Serengeti for 4 years which gave him huge experience to then branch out and guide for other companies. He has now over 17 years experience in guiding and is hugely interested in birding.

Isaiah is married, has 2 beautiful children called Lisamaria and Daniel. In his spare time he enjoys sports, movies, music, being with his family and travelling.
