Chris McCarthy

President

Chris was born and raised in Highland Park, NJ, leaving the Garden State in 1997 to matriculate at the University of Pittsburgh. He graduated from Pitt with a BS in Economics and holds a certificate from the Joseph M. Katz School of Business: Entrepreneurial Fellows Program. Currently the company Vice President, Chris joined Mr. John full time in April 2000, having worked summers since 1994. He is a second-generation member of the family business, and has held many jobs over the years, including- assembling, demolishing, pumping, cleaning and delivering portable toilets, servicing large events, dispatch, marketing, sales, HR, safety, and accounting. Chris lives in Pittsburgh’s historic South Side with his fiancé Caitlin and their dog Basil, who also serves as Mr. John’s official mascot and office pup. When not thinking about toilets he enjoys cooking (and eating), exercising a respectable and occasionally above average hoop game, teeing it up with friends and family, and enjoying Pittsburgh’s unique neighborhoods, bucolic parks, and outstanding restaurants.

Jeff Wolfarth

Vice President

Jeff grew up in the Highland Park section of Pittsburgh. He graduated from Peabody High School and likes to say he received his degree from Mr. John University. He worked the summers of 1972 and 1973 repairing wooden portable toilets and started full time at Mr. John in May of 1977. He has been fortunate to be part of the growth of the company and has done just about every job there is (he has the stories to prove it). Jeff is proud of the time he spent on the Board of Directors of the Portable Sanitation Association International (PSAI) where he served as President in 2009. He moved to Cranberry Township in 1983 where, with his high school sweetheart Val, they raised their four daughters Erin, Megan, Emily and Kelly. When away from work he returns to Pittsburgh for food and recreation, he is a big Pens and Steelers fan and enjoys playing one of his many guitars.

Adriana and Evan are typically busy on the weekends traveling and visiting friends, exploring restaurants and bars, and working on house renovations. After graduating from Penn State University with a B.A. in Labor Employment Relations and a focus in Conflict Resolution, she began her career at H.J. Heinz Company as a Management Trainee. She spent some time in Benefits, then looking for a more general role, she was promoted to HR Operations. She was primarily responsible for managing the people budget, aiding in recruitment goals, and tracking performance. After Heinz, she changed jobs to work at Price Waterhouse Coopers as a Campus Sourcing Analyst, where her focus was hiring college students to meet department goals. After some time, she decided working at a major corporation wasn’t a good fit for what she wanted to accomplish with her career. In 2016, needing a change, she decided to pursue a career path at a family owned company and has been with Mr. John as their HR Manager, ever since. She has truly loved every minute of working at Mr. John and is excited to see what our future holds!

Kim Charlton

Accounting Manager

I started working for Mr. John when the office was a trailer in Lawrenceville almost 28 years ago. The small office was loaded with printers that sounded like helicopters were landing on the roof, fax machines that loaded like toilet paper and a route board with movable magnetic labels; all the new innovated tech of the times. The floppy disks were as big as LP albums and all the journals were loaded into them. I was hired to start with the new Unix based software and the 3 ½ inch floppy disks. I had just graduated from CCAC with a degree in Accounting and was ready to raise my two children who were very instrumental in helping me get that degree. The jobs I had before this were not very challenging. This was not the case at Mr. John. This one was a true blessing in my life. Not only did I get to put my accounting skills in gear I also learned a lot more of those skills from the company as they were ascending a rough road up to becoming what they are today. I was also able to do more than just accounting; I did almost every position there was here including learning to drive a skid steer loader. I painted toilets in the spring and was given the opportunity to start a Safety Committee which took us three years to receive certification from the state. After a lot of hard work, huge binders filled with MSDS sheets, shower portable units turned into eye wash stations, chains, chalks, accident reports and dedication by many employees and we finally did it. I also began dual roles as the HR and Accounting manager and was able to recommend two of our beloved drivers into the PSAI’s driver of the year competition and they both brought home the glory! One was the first female ever to win that award. I was given the opportunity to recognize the many gifts our employees brought to the company through the President’s Day Meetings we held once a year. I also started the News Flush, a monthly publication focused on the safety and appreciation of our employees and industry with a splash of humor. Not only did I start with a new software, I also was given the opportunity and trust to put into place our operating and accounting software along with many payroll and time clock systems. I have been given so much experience, trust and knowledge and yes, love from what I consider a true family. We have grown so much and hired so many people in these past years that I am exclusively accounting now but there is much more to account for. I have watched this company suffer, sacrifice, grow, reach, blast off, sink, dig out, soar, say goodbye, say hello, take risks, invent, challenge and evolve all with the loyalty, integrity, love and dedication to it’s employees, communities and customers. I am so proud to be part of it and I have been in awe of witnessing its growth to what it has become. I truly thank God for this path He put me on. God is the number one in my life here and outside of my life at Mr John. I love my family of those two children who patiently shared me with Mr. John and later both worked here; one still does, my husband, my son in law, my two grandchildren, my church and friends. I have lived a very blessed life and I as of my morning prayers, this company is still a blessing that I count and always will be.
