Isaac Williams, Chief Executive Officer
Born and raised in Sanford, Florida, Isaac Williams was blessed with both academic
and athletic talent and driven by caring parents to perform on and off the field.
He was determined to be academically gifted during his grade school years; Isaac
tested in the top percentiles nationally on college entrance exams and was a National
Merit Scholar candidate. He turned great, natural athletic ability-National Junior
Olympics Weightlifting Champion at 14 years old and a nationally recruited high school
football phenomenon at 16 years old, 255 pounds-into a successful athletic career.
Isaac was blessed to be able to choose between playing college football and competing
for a potential spot on the U.S. Olympic Team in Colorado Springs, where he trained
during the summers at the National Olympic Training Center. He chose a full athletic
scholarship to attend Florida State University-just far enough from home for comfort,
but not too far. After an All-America career with the "Noles," Isaac received a degree
in Business Finance and was a 1985 NFL draft pick of the Indianapolis Colts.
He later played for the Denver Broncos, as well as in the Arena Football League.
From 1996 to 1999, Isaac served as Director of Programs and, later, Director of Finance
and Development, for the Florida Network of Youth and Family Services-a statewide
association of youth services programs. In 1996, Isaac's vision was to create a
turn-key system of training and technical assistance for grassroots, community-based
organizations so that they might better serve their communities and compete for finite
program and financial resources. In late 1999 The Community Trust Corporation was
birthed from Isaac's sincere passion for these communities and organizations, which
is exemplified in the favor and national acclaim that has manifested in such a short
period of time.
