Born and raised in Wailuku, Maui, Kumu Pōmaikaʻi Krueger has ʻūniki or earned the status of kumu hula under Maui Kumu Uluwehi Guerrero. He has studied hula for many years with Kumu Uluwehi however, his life has also lead him to dance and study with Maui Kumu Iola Balubar, and Oʻahu Kumu Sonny Ching as well as Kumu Keith Awai.

Pōmaikaʻi graduated in 2004 from Baldwin High School in Wailuku, Maui, and completed a Bachelor’s in Hawaiian Studies at Brigham Young University – Hawai’i in 2010 after serving a two year Latter-day Saint mission in Tokyo, Japan.

Prior to working at PCC, he was a high school teacher teaching Hawaiian language and hula at Lahainaluna High School on Maui. He teaches in the old style – nānā ka maka, hoʻolohe ka pepeiao, paʻa ka waha, hana ka lima: eyes observe, ears obey, mouth shut, hands work. Kumu Pōmaikaʻi also strives to teach the values of his kūpuna: ka ʻoiaʻiʻo – honesty, ke kuoʻo -seriousness, ke kōkua – service, ke aloha – love.
