Background:
Alex’s father, who fled Iraq nearly 70 years ago, found refuge in the United States as a student, prioritized education and set clear standards for Alex and his brother and sister: kindness, good citizenship, exemplary behavior, and don’t open your mouth unless you know what you’re talking about. His mother, a Palestinian Christian born in Bethlehem, came to the United States as a young girl. She impressed the Arabic language upon all her children where it has played a critical role in everyday life and in support of national security. Alex’s Palestinian and Assyrian semitic origins have played a significant role in his ability to support special operations and the intelligence community.
Alex completed his undergraduate studies in Political Science at the University of Michigan in 1991. In 2007, he expanded his academic pursuits by earning a Master of Science degree in Biotechnology from the University of Maryland, University College (UMUC).
Family:
Alex takes tremendous pride in his family. He and his wife Kimberly have been married for over 32 years. They have three grown daughters – Captain Devon Messina, a labor and delivery nurse in the Army Nursing Corps; Madison Isaac, a project engineer with a leading construction firm; Payton Isaac, a business professional supporting a major defense contractor. Kimberly is a Global Mobility / International Assignments professional currently supporting a major defense contractor in Northern Virginia. They are the loving grandparents to three young grandchildren.
Career:
For over 23 years as a career Army officer, Lieutenant Colonel (retired) Alex Isaac is all too familiar with combat and intelligence operations. He has worked on both sides of the wire as an infantryman and as an information technology and communications (IT&C) professional.
Having been raised in mud boots with the 10th Mountain Division (Light) and the 1st Infantry Division (Mechanized), Alex’s field work in Haiti, Bosnia, and Kosovo were the building blocks to where he would leverage all those skills on the streets of Baghdad, Iraq throughout his multiple deployments. Alex has become a subject matter expert in Middle Eastern Information Technology & Communications and has been at the forefront of Army, special operations, and intelligence community’s technical initiatives.
Alex’s transition to the private sector was a natural progression as he continued to support law enforcement and intelligence operations as a member of the MarkLogic Corporate team supporting national security programs under several intelligence and law enforcement agencies. His experience in business led to his recent position with a major defense contractor located in northern Virginia where he continues to play an active role in developing growth initiatives focused on the intelligence community and special operations. His congressional candidacy is rooted in a rich background of military leadership, technical proficiency, private sector experience, and community service.
Awards & Badges:
Community Service:
Additionally, Alex spearheaded the coordination of repairs and upgrades to the community’s stormwater management system, showcasing his dedication to sustainable and resilient living environments. Collaboration was at the core of Alex’s approach, as he worked closely with neighbors and friends to advocate for homeowners’ rights, uphold architectural standards, organize social functions, and contribute to community beautification projects. Together, they formed a united front, aligning with neighboring communities on issues like the Route 15 expansion, and successfully advocating for the approval of the Loudoun County Comprehensive Plan Amendments (CPAM), which included the crucial Western Bypass approval.
Alex’s involvement exemplifies a proactive, calm, and effective approach to community leadership, where he not only voiced concerns but also defended positions ultimately playing a leadership role in enacting lasting positive change for his community and the broader Lucketts/Leesburg area.
