Larry Grundmann and his wife Kathleen, moved to Mandeville in 2022 at a later stage in their lives, returning across the lake from the stomping ground of Larry’s younger years.

He has also served his previous communities, holding many leadership and planning positions; to include County Planning in California. Larry believes that by participating in that growth process, he can help shape and guide Mandeville’s future, while maintaining its charm and ambience.
