What is the best part of working with family?
I have the distinct pleasure of working with two siblings every day, PJ
Dempsey, CEO, and Kristin Dempsey O'Donnell, Vice Present. They
are the mamma and papa bear of this business, which is what they
have always been for our immediate family too. (Kristin is the oldest
sibling and PJ is the only boy). They bring care, compassion, trust,
and loyalty every day to the business which creates a real sense of
family. On a personal level, our relationship has grown stronger
through a deeper level of trust and mutual respect for what we each
bring to the table. It is great to feel that your individual skills make an
impact each day.

Cindi Heyen is President and CFO of JED Pool Tools and its Northeastern Plastics Custom Injection
Molding division. Cindi started part time when her family purchased JED in 1989, wanting to spend
more time with her daughter. Her role and involvement grew as the business grew and her children
were older. In 2005, she purchased JED Pool Tools with her partner and became President. Cindi’s
attention to detail and organizational skills were an asset when she and her partner began running it;
these skills helped the company grow and allowed for a smoother merger with Northeastern Plastics in
2012. Cindi led the challenging software changeover to the current ERP system in 2018, currently directs
the Inventory department, and handles many key item purchases.
