He grew up in a Catholic home walking around five miles to Church every Sunday and attended a Catholic school. After his primary education, he went to a boarding school (St. John Fisher - Ibanda) for his secondary education, where he started the experience of being away from home for a long time.
He went to a high school seminary (Bukinda Seminary) run by the Apostles of Jesus Missionaries and then joined St. Thomas Aquinas Major Seminary (Katigondo) for college where he studied Philosophy and Social Sciences, and later joined the Catholic University of Eastern Africa in Nairobi Kenya for theology, after which he dropped out of the Seminary for personal reasons.
He worked in different areas ranging from refugees’ services, environmental protection, and hospital management. After several years working as a medical social worker for a Catholic hospital, he applied to join the Archdiocese of Cincinnati to come back to the seminary through a friend who had come to Uganda with the Missionaries of the New Evangelization.
He was admitted to the Athenaeum of Ohio and continued his priestly formation. He spent four years at the Athenaeum of Ohio/Mt. St. Mary’s of the West for a master’s in theology and divinity and was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati in May 2019.
