Pulse of Polynesia
LIVE in the Hot Seat Tasi Taufa'asau Arlington 3.15.25
He’s an Army ROTC graduate from the University of Oklahoma, a proud Phi Delta Theta brother, a former rugby player, and—believe it or not—an aspiring model with five callbacks from major agencies! But there’s far more to him than talent and good looks.
He’s a creative force, a graphic design enthusiast, and the mastermind behind the iconic LHS Class of ‘92 anniversary banner. Oh, and did we mention his UFO experience? Yeah, we’re getting into that too!
Culturally, he carries the Matai title of Tasiaeafe, a legacy deeply rooted in his family and passed down from his grandfather to his father, now shared with his younger cousin. His passion for preserving Samoan heritage shines through his research, storytelling, and cultural outreach.
Beyond the accolades, he’s a devoted husband and father, an advocate for financial literacy, and someone who has navigated the complexities of balancing Fa’aSamoa with personal growth, tackling stereotypes, and confronting racism head-on.
From military service to civilian leadership, from IT and logistics to finance and business, and now as the founder of Polynesian Republic LLC, he’s making waves in entrepreneurship and cultural preservation.
And tonight, he’s stepping into the HOT SEAT!
