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.
