Isaac Nicholas Gomez was born in San Diego, California. He is currently a sophomore in high school and has ambitious dreams to attend Columbia University in the City of New York. Besides his studies, Isaac usually spends his time playing soccer or with his family. His mother, Monica Nunez-Cham, and father , Arturo Gomez, arrived in San Diego 17 years ago with their children Alan and Montse. Originally from Guadalajara, Jalisco (the second largest city in Mexico) the Gomez family has kept the traditions of the Mexican culture along with new American influences.

Parents Monica and Arturo have emphasized the importance of family when raising their three children and have been able to keep a very intimate and personal connection with their extended family as well. Monica herself was the 7^th child of ten, four of whom live in San Diego. Every Sunday all four sisters residing in San Diego have a reunion filled with delicious Mexican food followed by the infamous gossip at the dinner table.

Always being supported by his family, Isaac decided to become an activist as a transgender teen, spreading awareness and sharing his story. In addition to the full support of his parents, Isaac also has the support of his classmates in school, and that of the school itself.
