CJ Elumbaugh

Custom Swimming Pool Contractor and Rancher

HOME: Batesville

FAVORITE RESTAURANT: Tommy’s Famous in Mountain View

FAVORITE MOVIE: Lonesome Dove

CJ Elumbaugh grew up on a small horse farm in Batesville where she and her sisters learned the value of hard work early on from their parents. That work ethic has stuck with Elumbaugh through it all, including the transition from her 14-year insurance career to work with husband Rusty in the custom pool business. Whether she’s taking care of the paperwork or driving equipment at a job site, Elumbaugh isn’t afraid to dig her heels in and get to work – all in the same pair of heels, too. Of course, she still finds time to enjoy the little things in life while raising her boys and making her family’s dream farm a reality.

What attracted you to your career?

My husband started building pools in 2010. I was beside him doing all of the books, finances and paperwork, which usually meant early mornings, late nights and weekends. I knew leaving my previous career would give me more time for my family and our ranch, so after COVID hit, I took the leap.

What other woman do you admire most?

My mother. She can literally do anything – ride horses, fix a water leak, sew clothes, weld and dress wounds. She’s the one who taught me how to be so independent!

What’s one thing you would change about your field?

If I could control the weather and keep it mild and sunny year round, our job would be much easier.

What is the best part of your day?

Sunrise. I am an early bird; I love drinking my coffee, watching the sun come up and collecting my thoughts for the day.

What’s something others would be surprised to know about you?

I work in heels almost every single day. My office attire usually becomes jobsite attire by the end of the day!
