"Daredevil", "wordsmith", "news junkie" and "free spirited individual" are a few of the adjectives others have used to describe Isaac Pacheco. Isaac is a prior-service Marine, an internationally-published photojournalist, a National Press Club member and a magna cum laude graduate of George Mason University (Communications B.A.).

Isaac has served as editor and contributor to a number of military publications and journals including, Leatherneck Magazine and American Veteran magazine. During his time in the Marine Corps, he deployed to Iraq as a military journalist and radio DJ for American Forces Network. Isaac is currently the senior managing editor of Reservist Magazine for the Department of Homeland Security.

As a working professional in the field of journalism for the last nine years, Isaac's interests have revolved around New Media, multimedia development, cross-cultural communication, global media and politics, globalization and news content delivery systems. He is currently a graduate student at Georgetown University, studying media & politics in the Communications, Culture and Technology program. When he's not putting in 60+ hour work/school weeks, Isaac keeps himself awake with extreme sports.

"Anything fast, dangerous and/or 'not recommended to try at home' is my preferred fare. To catch me running a marathon, rafting a treacherous stretch of whitewater or navigating a rocky, single-track downhill on my mountain bike is to catch me at my most content."
