About Isaac
I grew up in the countryside of the Stettler area on my parents’ family farm where I learned to love my family, community, and the area I call home. This allowed me from a young age to learn not only the importance of hard-work, but also the responsibility of caring for the world around me. Whether that was through taking care of the sheep and chickens in my daily chores, volunteering with the many service groups I was part of, or the example of great role models in my life. I strive to be a man of integrity, honesty, and service today because of the many community members who taught me through their example.
The thing that drives me, as a young man coming from a politically active family, is the desire to improve our community and our culture. This is what led me to pursue a path in seminary in Edmonton where I further developed my leadership skills and graduated from a Bachelor of Arts program in Philosophy at the top of my class. With deeper consideration of where culture needs change, I jumped into an Education degree, since I believed that our society can be changed in the classroom if we provide students with truth and good role models. Too often, our children are shuffled through a system that no longer teaches conviction about the truth and robs students of common sense and character. My ambition is to fix that one step at a time, one class at a time. We shouldn’t have students graduating our publicly funded schools hating the very culture that raised them.
On top of this, because I care about where our culture is heading, I have remained deeply invested in our political landscape as another route by which we fix our society’s problems. As the wisdom of our grandparents taught us, wealth does not make excellence, but excellence wealth. If we do not fight for a better tomorrow, we will watch as our great province goes to waste. Nothing great is achieved without hard work, rural folks know this. This is why I, with the encouragement of the folks in our area, choose to take on the responsibility of fighting to make sure our next MLA is not just anybody but somebody from our community who is common-sense, principled, and Alberta strong.
For me, politics is important, but at the end of the day, it about service. I have used my free time to improve the world around me. Instead of being in the spotlight like some, I, through my conviction that all lives matter, have worked to make sure people in the Old Folks Homes have visitors, to the point of spending hours after working a long day in the sun to help feed those who can no longer fed themselves. Moreover, I helped re-establish a youth summer camp in central Alberta (Our Lady of Victory Camp) by taking a summer off work in between university.
I hope to fight for our rural, conservative way of life, for our Christian Values, and for a return to normal Common-Sense principles.
