Upon completion of primary education at Kindeng Primary School in 1986, I was offered a place to continue my studies at Mt. Hagen High School, Western Highlands Province. I graduated in 1990 and was offered a scholarship to train as a primary school teacher at Balob Teachers' College in Lae, Morobe Province. In 1993, I graduated with a Diploma in Education (Primary Teaching) and taught at two separate primary schools in the Western Highlands Province. 

In the summer of 1995, my application for further studies was considered. I enrolled at Waldorf College in Forest City, Iowa, United States of America. In April of 1997, I graduated with an Associate of Arts Degree in Business Administration. I transfered to California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks City, California in the fall of 1997. In 2000, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and was employed by corporate America. After a year of employment, I won a scholarship to continue graduate studies at California State University at Northridge. In May of 2000, I successfully completed my required course work and thesis project, and graduated with a Master of Public Administration.

After spending seven and half years in America, I decided to return home in May 2002. Upon arrival in Mt. Hagen, I was asked by former Prime Minister, Paias Wingti (current Governor of Western Highlands Province) to help run his July 2002 election campaigns. Upon his successful bid, he appointed me as "Provincial Foreign Aid Coordinator" and on occassions served as his political aide. I also served as Member of the Mt. Hagen Culture Show Committee, and Member of Western Highlands Provincial Tourism Bureau. In August of 2003, I voluntarily ceased my employment with the Office of the Governor of Western Highlands Province.

Currently, I am based in Port Moresby and actively engaged in my start-up business venture while running my eco-lodge in Mt. Hagen. Apart from professional work, I give my free times towards volunteer community development initiatives. In November 2003, I registered Kokop Village Eco-Forestry Development Organization (KVEDO), Incorporated- a rural village-based, non-profit, and sustainable environmental development advocacy organization. I founded KVEDO, Inc. in August of 2000 to practically promote, encourage, and advocate eco-forestry, eco-tourism, and nature conservation development in Western Highlands Province. 

In January 2004, I founded the Western Highlands Leadership Development Forum - a pioneer initiative which aims at bringing all the Western Highlands business men and women, professionals in both government and private sectors, and leaders in churches, communities, and non-government organizations, to come together for a one-day forum with the aim of letting go our differences and to celebrate our achievements.

Personally, I enjoy the company of friends. I like reading materials related to economics, politics, and business. I enjoy watching action and suspense-thrillers, and aim at keeping myself physically fit. I have a strong passion for natural environment and cultural issues. I strive to create ideas, innovate change, and initiate activities all aimed at making a positive difference in my local community, tribe, province, and country. I regard myself as a leader of my country, and as such, am passionate about making a positive difference in my profession and civic roles, and in doing so, I hope to leave a lasting legacy for future generations: this is the mission of my life.
