In 2004, Mike went on to co-found a local valet parking firm, developing a reputation for personalized, detailed service in an industry that was starving for top-level parking services. “Valet Parking was always the ugly step-sister of the events industry in DC, until we found Mike. He truly revolutionized the valet business to ensure the level of service outside the venue matched what was happening inside”, says a client of Michael’s.
In 2012, MJ decided it was time to go out on his own and apply his 15+ years experience in the parking industry to provide the level of service that clients have come to expect from him. Bringing co-founder Derek Keane on board proved to be the recipe for success that has allowed MJ Valet to quickly become a leader in the industry. Derek has been an invaluable asset to MJ Valet creating operating systems and management tools to put the company on the path for 1,000 events per year.
