He received a bachelor’s degree with a major in professional aeronautics from the fully online Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University, Worldwide Campus. He is the founder and chairman of Shift4 Payments, a payment processor, and the founder of Draken International, which provides adversary training to the U.S., British, and other NATO air forces. Through his leadership in private spaceflight, Isaacman has been credited with advancing competition in the space industry and reducing reliance on government programs.

Isaacman commanded Inspiration4 – the first all-civilian spaceflight – using SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Resilience which launched from Kennedy Space Center on September 16, 2021. He later led Polaris Dawn, during which he became the first private citizen to perform a spacewalk.
