Isaac is a software engineer, startup founder, dedicated audiophile, beer connoisseur, runner, cyclist, and fan of most music and all cats. He began his audiophile journey listening to vinyl on his dad's Marantz stereo at his childhood home in rural Arkansas. He read every Radio Shack catalog cover to cover and spent many days hanging out at Radio Shack after school. In high school, he built his first 2-way loudspeakers with parts from Madisound and has continued to build DIY speakers over the years including the active loudspeakers he currently uses in his home system and demoed at Burning Amp. Isaac currently lives in San Francisco where he sees as much live music as possible with an admitted soft spot for 70's and 80's new wave and synth-pop, new age, jazz, and rock of all eras.
