My name is Kaipo. I am a Pacific Islander, amputee, entrepreneur and collegiate volleyball athlete. I didn’t start playing till my senior year of high school, but due to my mother being an Olympian, I was always around the sport since I was a baby. And I’ve coached since I was 18. I grew up playing many sports. I played for the Samoan national team in 2016 for a FIFA World Cup qualifier. In 2019 I was selected to be in the major league rugby draft in the US. Also in 2019 I was selected as an alternate for the Collegiate National Volleyball team. During my time at Southern Virginia University I’ve won 2 conference titles, made 2 NCAA appearance finishing in the final 4 this last year. I’ve received other various conference and tournament awards. Amputee: I smashed my finger between a log and rock while building a tree house in the mountains. Entrepreneur: In 2021 have started both a Volleyball business and Snowboarding clothing brand. I am a proud Eagle Scout.
