Summary
James L. Isom IV was born on the 8th of November 2389, in Atlanta, North America to James Isom III, a then active-duty Star Fleet Officer, and Sharon Harris-Isom, a Marine Biologist. Spending most of his childhood on Earth, James excelled academically and was regarded as a talented public speaker and debater in his local Primary School. In this, James’ life was on a trajectory for entry into the Federation diplomatic corps or in some other capacity of public service. However, the death of his father in 2396 during skirmishes in the Neutral Zone, altered his course towards a career in Star Fleet.
