He started as a washing station Manager then promoted to Quality control manager back to Burundi then came  to run a washing station in Uganda as Managing Director of Manafwa Specialty Seeds, Ltd. He believes in the positive role coffee  business plays in the coffee farming community. “If you see how many farmers get paid because of  coffee and send their kids to school and pay health bills, as well as do different projects, this touches  me much. It's more than coffee beans, it's part of the life”.
