Peter Isaacs is a former first team all-American soccer player, a former finalist for the Hermann Award (American collegiate soccer's equivalent to the Heisman Award), a former professional soccer player, and a graduate of Howard University in Washington D.C.

A quintessential and agelong logophile, he is a voracious reader and researcher who over the last sixteen years has diligently compiled The Logophile's Collection, a comprehensively organized and thematic repository of words that cover almost every area, field, or sphere of life. An athlete turned lexicographer, Peter has also compiled The Color Bible, a soon to be published organized collection of lexically verifiable colors and colored words in addition to the Dictionary of Colors and Colored Words.He is the father of three girls, Hadiya, Alexandria, and Amelia.
