He also doubles as the chairperson of tribal group at MUST Baganda Nkobazambogo.

He is a great sportsman which is evidenced by the skills he portrays when on the pitch. Being a multi-talented player and his love for sports are the reason as to why he was nicknamed ‘’Isco’’ because according to his fans, he was playing like the Real Madrid star Isco.

He is a self-employed business man who runs a shop selling sports equipment in Kampala. With the little he gets from his business, Denis always ensure that he shares it with those in need especially in these difficult times of the pandemic. ’’Having had a dream to be a medical person, this was always a child’s dream, however when I grew up I found reasons to work harder besides my profession. Today am owning a sports center which I opened up recently realizing where my hobbies push me. I want to own as many shops as possible in the near future,’’ he explained.

‘’Today I’m able to reach out to very many people with my assistance and aid even when I’m not called for but giving back to the society that natured me and also trying to contribute school fees to the homeless children at my home place every term,’’ He adds.
