Roger C. Igo

Roger C. Igo began working when he was 5 ½, and for the most part, hasn't stopped since. The Houston entrepreneur has washed dogs and ran a thriving Sno-cone business. He's played saxophone with a Houston funk band and co-founded a record label. As a real estate broker, he attained the status of "Million Dollar Producer" and hosted a real estate radio show. A few years after that, Igo launched a general contracting firm. It was during his years as its president when Igo was plunged into one of the most trying chapters of his life, one that threatened his livelihood and shook him to his core. Igo's response to that trial, and his ability to build a flourishing business out of the ashes, is an inspiring testament to the power of tenacity. Since becoming the president and CEO of The Bell Tower on 34th in 2009, Roger C. Igo has been responsible for thousands of successful events. Never satisfied, he continues to perfect his business and leadership style. A former Council Cabinet member of the World Affairs Council of Houston, Igo also is a graduate of CEO Space International and an alumnus of the Disney Institute. These days, Igo lives in Houston with his wife, Angela Igo. The Igos have two children and are active in their community. Igo is devoted to sharing the lessons he's learned during the course of his career, through this book, and as a motivational speaker. Igo is available for speaking engagements at businesses, leadership courses, professional groups, and nonprofit organizations. You can reach him at [e-mail].
