Projects

• WIT Hour of Code

  November 2013 – May 2014
  Chairperson and chief coordinator for the December 2013 and May 2014 WIT Hour of Code events, hosted by Adobe in Lehi, UT.
  
  Coordinated the effort for all volunteers, companies, sponsors, and hosts. I was the point person for logistics, fund raising, marketing / media relations, games, attractions, and speakers.
  
  Over the two events, nearly 4,000 kids + their families visited the Adobe Lehi building, and were inspired by hundreds of volunteers from 40+ companies representing nearly every industry. Principles of computer science, inspirational talks by high-profile speakers, and educational games helped raise awareness for how prevalent and necessary technology is in our lives.
  
  This was a very rewarding set of events for me personally, as I have four daughters, and have seen the positive effect that interest and excitement can have on the educational behaviors of young students. Nearly 4,000 kids came curious and left inspired, and I was very blessed to be a part of such an amazing, collaborative effort, and to work with so many volunteers that gave freely of their time, to make a marked, real difference in the lives of so many students.

Recommendations

A preview of what LinkedIn members have to say about Isaac:

• Isaac is a driving force at Adobe. Besides his normal duties he volunteers his time for a number of community initiatives. He is very committed to education and works relentlessly to make sure those inside and outside the company receive the information and education they need to be effective. In addition to training our customers, Isaac goes the extra mile and takes time to train those inside the company on our own products. In addition to work related training, Isaac volunteers with a number of outside groups such as STEM / STEAM, FIRST robotics, and WIT to share technology education to the community. Isaac is always willing to donate his time, talents, and energies to share his knowledge with others. I've worked with Isaac on a number of initiatives. He is well organized and detail oriented. He knows how to effectively share leadership while still making sure everything gets done and everyone has fun. Working with Isaac is a blast.

• Strack is a technologist, a scholar and a gentleman. I had the privilege of working with Isaac for +2 years as a colleague, a manager and, most importantly, a true friend. Strack is hard working, ingenious, principled and personable. We are going to miss his valued contributions and his irreverent humor. Any team is lucky to have him.
