I’m looking for direction to install and boot CentOS 7 from an iSCSI
device. Any experience and advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Check out the iPXE website for details about iSCSI booting.

If you do not want to use iPXE, an alternative approach is to have a USB
stick (few hundred MBs is enough) for /boot partition. CentOS 7 installs just fine with this setup (/boot on local USB, the rest on iSCSI).
This works better with kernel updates (can be more tricky with iPXE as you need to “synchronize” kernels and modules).
