EP286 Ron Evans, owner and founder of The Vault of Scottsdale in Scottsdale Arizona. The Vault is a boutique vehicle storage facility that also books special events. I personally was part of organizing an NSXPO event in 2022 that was hosted at The Vault for an awesome charity casino night. Ron's story is an amazing one and my first time hearing any of it was doing this interview with Ron.
