Aloha. E komo mai!

Our business name and motto, Kalaiwa Pono in translation means “Drive Safe”. We are a private, small family business. We strive to educate new drivers to increase knowledge with Hawaii traffic laws and safe vehicle operation. Our mission is to teach each student to become safe, responsible and defensive drivers. We practice the concept of Koho Pono “Good decision making” and Kalaiwa Pono also meaning to drive with care and respect.

Aloha!

My name is A. Rob Kalama Wengler.

For my education and professional background experience, I am a Communications major at the University of Hawaiʻi. I am a former police officer and now a City and County Firefighter of 23 years. In HFD I am a Field Driver Trainer where I help teach new recruits the task of driving the fire apparatus and also help to re-certify other firefighterʻs with their City licenses. I have been working with students as a substitute teacher and football coach for 21 plus years. I am a highly trained and qualified Hawaii DOT certified driver education instructor (instructor ID #404) and have 17 years of total experience in this industry including 12 years of driver education experience working with the DOE. I have a passion for and enjoy working with students. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experience with you to satisfy your driving needs.
