The oldest of three boys—-Lonnie and Ervin Smith being younger, Isaiah excelled in sports growing up playing both basketball and football throughout high school. After graduation, Isaiah enrolled in the Marines Reserves, and started his career as a machine operator at Dayco plant in Walterboro, SC.
