He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics. Later, he obtained a Master of Business Administration degree, in accounting and finance from Uganda Martyrs University.[1][2]

His experience covers a wide range of service areas including (a) data management (b) systems management (c) risk management (d) ATM management (e) mobile banking, (f) online banking and others.
