Our Founder Bios

Jesse and Sharon Thompson worked together for 34 years building two service firms. They attribute their firm’s successes to empowering employees, best in class performance and always adhering to ethical and moral practices.

Central Jersey Septic, Inc. (CJS) was recognized as a regional industry leader. The company installed, serviced and inspected septic systems. Jess Thompson co-founded the NJ Septage Management Association, served as President and Chair of the Ethics and Standards Committee. Notably this organization developed septic system inspection protocols which were adopted by Rutgers University and eventually NJDEP. During Thompson’s presidency NJSMA also successfully engaged NJDEP to solve a commercial grease disposal crisis.

Johnny on the Spot, Inc (JOTS) provided clean portable restrooms, luxury restroom trailers and temporary fence rentals. Three branch locations served NJ, PA and NYC. Throughout the Thompson’s 34 years, JOTS was frequently recognized as a best-in-class operation by national trade publications. Jess was an active member of Portable Sanitation Association International (PSAI) and associate member of numerous end user associations. Portable Sanitation firms throughout the USA, Germany and India visited JOTS’ Old Bridge NJ Headquarters, built specifically for the industry.

In 2014 a private equity firm, purchased 89% of both JOTS and CJS. Sharon created and trained off dozens of admin positions as the company grew and retired from her position as controller after the sale. Jesse stayed on as CEO and then acquisition consultant. JOTS and CJS companies were sold again in 2016 to United Site Services. At that time, the remaining Thompson shares were sold, and Jess retired. To remain productive and challenged Thompson Family Benevolent Fund (TFBF) was created.

Sharon and Jess enjoy adventure travel, boating, fishing, entertaining friends and family in their New Jersey and Florida homes.
