Early years
Galuteria was born and raised in the Kaka‘ako and Kapahulu areas, where his entire family worked, played and worshiped. They lived across from what now is the John A. Burns School of Medicine — an “urban plantation” at the time where a young Brickwood and his friends would surf the waters off of Point Panic near what is now Kakaako Waterfront Park.
Galuteria's family were mostly blue-collar workers. His father, Arnold, worked for United Airlines and was president of his union. His mother, Juliette, worked for the City & County of Honolulu at City Hall.
