Born in Tema, Isaac attended Deks Preparatory School and the S.D.A. Secondary School, Bekwai where he successfully completed his GCE Ordinary Level Exams and thereafter, enrolled at the then Adventist Missionary College (now Valley View University). Driven by the goal of obtaining the highest education possible, he furthered his education at the University of Eastern Africa, Baraton and the United States International University, Africa, both in Kenya, where he obtained his Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Accounting and International Business Administration (Finance) respectively. Thereafter, he returned to Ghana in 1996 and took up an appointment with the General Conference Auditing Service as a Staff Auditor. In 2004, he moved to the Valley View University to lecture in the Business Administration Department. Whilst at VVU, he served as the VVU Alumni Association President, Alumni Association Representative on the University Board of Trustees, Member of the Finance Committee, and Co-ordinator for the Banking and Finance Programme. In 2007, he enrolled at the London College of Management Studies where he undertook further studies leading to a Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) and completed in July 2009. His dissertation is entitled "Financing Private Higher Education in Africa: Exploring Alternative Forms of Finance". "'Service to God and humanity' has been his motto throughout his life because to him, he owes all that he has attained in his educational pursuit to God and to the benevolence and inspiration of other persons. Isaac says that his vision is to see Valley View University become the leading educational institution in Ghana, not just academically but most of all to lead in educating young people who will be equipped with God-fearing virtues and Christian principles to take the mantle of leadership and serve their respective communities and countries. He is returning to Valley View University with a renewed passion for service and teaching and to motivate students to be innovative and achievers in their field of study. As a former President of the VVU Alumni Association, his aim is to help build a more cohesive Association that will spearhead the development of its members and Valley View University.” Isaac is married to Comfort Owusu, VVU Alumnus, with whom he has a son, Emmanuel Owusu-Dankwa. Isaac loves singing, church related activities and sports. The VVU Alumni Association congratulates him and wishes him well.
