Roberto Lovera built Bongo Bus from the ground up in 2010. As a celebrator of all things life, it began with an idea followed by a drive to bring it to life. Roberto invested in an old short school bus and completely remodeled the buses himself. He had a passion for music and playing the Bongo's, which is where he coined the name. Once launched, the bus was so busy, he added a 2nd, then a 3rd and 4th bus, all of which were remodeled to match the original design. He bought a 5th bus, however was unable to get to remodeling it. In March 2014, Roberto received a devastating diagnosis, he had a stage 4 glioblastoma brain tumor. He underwent brain surgery to remove the tumor and unfortunately succumbed to this beast a short 9 months later on Thanksgiving Day in 2014. Roberto was a loving and giving family man. He is missed dearly for all eternity.
