The man from Ibanda is the big brains behind several Simba Group of companies and the first Nokia Authorized dealer in Uganda. He attended Namasagali College, in Kamuli District under headmaster Father Damien Grimes. He is an associate Member of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA), in the United Kingdom.

He owns a mansion in Kololo where he stays. He owns one of the best upcountry homes only second to Jim Muhwezi's in Bujumbura fitted with everything. In fact rumour has it that when Ibanda town blacks out due to load shedding, powerful generators fitted at his home are able  to provide light to the whole town and can be compared to a full moonshining bright.
Now the interesting one is that to prove the might of his wallet, the fella throws expensive bashes for villagers in Ibanda every 27th of December each year where the whole Ibanda in invited to feast till they can't take in anymore.
He is the first guy to bring in fireworks to Ibanda and it has become an obligation for him rather than a favour to the villagers. He is also Chairman for both Uganda Investment Authority and Presidential Investors Round Table. He owns a Toyota Land Cruiser Cygnus, Mercedes benz ML350, and loves hanging put at Emin Pasha.
