“Though human beings may differ in intellect, temperament, or experience, no system of caste, creed, race, gender, nationality, or religion, and certainly no cruel invention like ‘untouchability’ or bigotry, can ever justly declare one group inherently superior or inferior to another. Caste and race are not truths etched in human nature, but illusions crafted by history and sustained by bigotry. Fashioned for the convenience of those in power, they have been shaped and reinforced by history, solidifying into the oppressive chains that still bind the conscience of society.”

Matthew K. Isaac, Broken Chains (2025) 

Matthew K. Isaac was born in Kerala, India, to the late Mr. Mathunny Isaac, an American-educated professor and Principal of Titus II Teachers’ College, and Mrs. Thankama Isaac, whose steadfast support and nurturing presence profoundly shaped his upbringing and career.

After completing a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Biology from Mar Thoma College, University of Kerala, and a Master of Arts (M.A.) from Christ Church College, Isaac was admitted to the University of Toledo in the United States to pursue graduate studies. He earned a second M.A. in English Language and Literature, a third master’s degree (M.A.E.), and a Ph.D. from the University of Toledo, Ohio.

He began his professional career at the University of Toledo (UT) as an academic advisor and faculty member in the Humanities, where he advised students and taught courses in writing and humanities. Shortly after launching his teaching career, he was promoted to Director and later Divisional Director of various academic programs at UT’s University College.

Isaac later relocated to California, where he held senior leadership positions, including District Director and Executive Director of Economic and Workforce Development at the San Bernardino District Chancellor’s Office. During his tenure, Dr. Isaac played a key role in securing over $25 million in state and federal competitive grants for workforce and economic development initiatives in the Inland Empire. He retired as Associate Vice Chancellor of Economic Development and Corporate Training.

Dr. Isaac received numerous accolades throughout his career, including statewide awards for “Excellence in Leadership” from both Ohio and California, in recognition of his contributions to workforce development and economic progress.

He is the author of the upcoming historical novel Broken Chains (November 2025) and the literary novel Touched by Redeeming Love (2018). When he is not writing, he enjoys playing recreational golf, reading, singing, and listening to music. He currently resides in Southern California with his wife, Bina Susan.
