Osaiasi Tuifua

A true West Side original, Osaiasi — a.k.a. Osi — was born and raised in the heart of the community. As the proud child of Tongan immigrants who settled in Glendale in the ’80s, Osi carries a deep appreciation for the roots that built this neighborhood. After heading north to earn a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Utah State University (Go Aggies!), he returned home with a mission to pour that knowledge back into the local streets.

When they aren’t navigating the professional world, you’ll likely find Osi on the sidelines coaching youth sports or participating in community events focused on positively impacting the neighborhood and building an optimistic future. He believes that while a degree gets you the job, West Side grit gets the work done.
