The Geneva Athletic Department is excited to announce the hiring of Isaac Massie, as 2024 Geneva graduate, as its next men’s and women’s golf coach, as well as the filling the role of Director of Athletic Operations.

Massie earned an undergraduate degree from Geneva in Finance in 2023 and a master’s in business administration from Geneva in 2024. He’s an avid golfer with experience both playing golf and recruiting athletes at the collegiate level. After graduation, Massie was hired by Hillcrest Christian Academy in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, to be its Athletic Director and a Physical Education Teacher, where he has served for the past two years. He handled all administrative functions of the athletic department, overseeing the budget, organizing gameday operations and setting up schedules for all the sports teams. Massie also taught K-12 physical education classes.

“It is truly an honor and privilege to return to Geneva College as the Head Golf Coach and the Head of Athletic Operations,” says Massie. “I am incredibly thankful to Van Zanic and President Troup for entrusting me to lead this program. Geneva obviously holds a special place in my heart, and I am grateful that the Lord has brought me back to my alma mater. I am excited for the opportunity to continue to lay the foundation of the Geneva golf program and build a culture that points to Christ.”

Massie is a familiar face for Golden Tornado fans. He was a standout on the basketball court from 2019-24 where he earned All-PAC honors while scoring almost 1,000 career points. He was also the author of what affectionately became known as the “Massie Miracle” when he converted a three-point play with less than a second to go in Geneva’s PAC semifinal one-point victory over Grove City, which spurred the Golden Tornadoes on to their first PAC Championship three days later over Saint Vincent.

In 2025, Massie was hired by Geneva as a part-time assistant for the men’s basketball program, where he continues to serve this season as the Golden Tornadoes welcome in new head coach DJ Damazo. He’s helped the men’s program with game planning and recruiting during his tenure.

“Coach Massie proved his competitive nature and excitement for Geneva athletics during his time here as a student athlete,” says Zanic. “It was clear during the search process that he will be able to use those gifts in exciting ways in leading our golf program now and into the future. He displays a clear love for Christ, and I am confident that his passion for the Lord will be evident as he works with our current athletes and recruits new athletes into the ministry of Christian athletics at Geneva College.”

Massie and his wife, Natalie (Parra), a 2023 graduate and former Geneva women's volleyball player, reside in New Brighton with their daughter, Vivian.
