Elder
Mike Mundstock
I grew up in Waukegan, Illinois, home of Jack Benny and Ray Bradbury. I went to Lutheran High school in Wisconsin and Lutheran college in Minnesota.
I ended up working for the Post Office in Illinois for 14 years and quit there and went back to school to be a Youth and Family Minister.
In 2002 I was assigned to a church here in Phoenix and moved with Cathy, my wife and our three kids. I served 17 years at the congregation until the position was eliminated.
I did some quick schooling and got my teaching certificate and began teaching in the public schools. I teach 5th grade Science, coach chess and used to coach baseball. My wife and I have three children and five grandchildren. We live in Sun City and can’t wait to retire.
