MEET YOUR MANAGER

Meet Ronnie Crone.  Born in Lubbock Texas, he lived in the small town of Alpine until the age of 4, when he and his family moved to Arizona.  He was then raised in Scottsdale and later graduated from Saguaro High School with honors.  It was during his senior year that he first started working as a valet, which he loved.  He then stopped doing valet for about 5 years however, to attend ASU full-time and drive forklifts for Costco, but he later returned to doing what he loved to do.  Ultimately he's become the CEO of After Dark Valet, following 10+ years as a Private Events Manager, while graduating with a double major from ASU in business & communications.  He's now a happily married family man, whom spends the bulk of his time caring for his son, autistic daughter and disabled mother.  During his minimal free time, he enjoys focusing on making After Dark Valet the most EXCLUSIVE Private Events Service available in Arizona!

Meet Karen Olson.  She was born in St Paul Minnesota, but moved to Arizona at 18 to attend ASU and found warm weather and sunshine and never left.

She started a career in apparel manufacturing, then stopped full time work to successfully raise two more Sun Devils into adulthood.   Along with attending kids’ swims meets, she worked part time gigs, including Editor for a local parenting magazine and Private Events Valet Manager for eleven years.  Keeping it in the family, both kids also worked as valets during college.  Later she decided Healthcare was where she found satisfaction and now she works full-time at a Corporate Wellness Company.  

Joining After Dark Valet was an absolute yes though, as she finds valet to be fun & satisfying work.  She enjoys making her clients events run smoothly, while being outside, even in the heat and cold.  She also enjoys the client and co-worker interaction.  Given everyones diverse backgrounds, it is very rewarding and there is never a dull moment!

In her free time, Karen enjoys her two dogs and parrot, gardening, bike riding and walking, got to keep moving to stay young.  Always planning and looking ahead to her next travels abroad or to a beach for toes in the sand.  

Live by the Golden Rule and you can’t go wrong.

Meet Jason Marsiano.  He is originally from Redding California, where he graduated from Shasta High School and attended Lake College.  He later decided to move to Arizona in 2012, where he ultimately acquired over 5 years of valet experience, dealing with everything from maintenance to management.  Jason is a huge asset to After Dark, given his overall experience and his ability to think on his feet!  He's also currently working as a paint foreman by day, but he's the best handyman there is on the side!  In his limited free time, he enjoys spending time with his fiancé and 2 beautiful daughters.  He's also an RC enthusiast and he likes to ride mountain bikes, but his real passion would have to be hunting and fishing.  He loves anything to do with the outdoors, but his favorite local water hole is Lake Pleasant.

Meet Paul Spillman.  He was born and raised in Marion Ohio, where he went to Marion Harding High School and then later attended the Try-rivers Career Center for Carpentry.  He ultimately moved to Arizona back in 2006, because he was tired of the cold weather and he wanted to try working somewhere new.  He is now a Carpenter Foreman here in Phoenix, so he spends the majority of his days building bridges.  He has been doing valet on the side for over 8 years now, because he loves it almost as much as he loves his Green Bay Packers!  He also enjoys fishing and working out, but he did not enjoy watching Clemson State win over Ohio State from the 9th row.  His favorite place to fish would be up in Canada, but the bulk of his free time is devoted to being an amazing father of 4 (3-girls, 1-boy).

Meet Meagan McLaughlin.  Meagan is originally from Hopewell New Jersey, but she moved to Arizona shortly after high school (at the age of 21).  It was ASU and a higher education in "Elementary Education" that initially brought her to AZ, but then it was ultimately the blinding heat and the lack of fresh water that locked her in for life and she's been here ever since!  She's now married to a wonderful husband and they have 3 amazing kids, who keep her from getting bored.  In her spare time she also enjoys spending time with her family, being outdoors, hiking, biking, crafting, painting and playing with her favorite dog, “Craig”.  

Additionally she loves photography, so if you're in the market for such a service, she would love to capture special moments for you and your family and you can get started with booking here:
