Brother David J. Wunderli

Brother David J. Wunderli has always known that Jesus Christ lives.

“I was blessed to feel His presence for as long as I can remember,” he said. “I’ve always had a believing heart.”

That is not to say he hasn’t had challenges, “but my ponderings have always leaned to knowing there are answers from Him.”

Brother Wunderli wants youth of the Church to feel a sense of belonging and to know they have teammates in every country and that Jesus Christ knows them by name.

David John Wunderli was born in Salt Lake City on June 22, 1961, to Fredric Theodore Wunderli and Bernardine Lyman Wunderli. He met Diane Robins when she moved from Canada to his ward. They were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple in 1984 and raised their four children in California and then Alpine, Utah.

Brother Wunderli served in the Brazil Rio de Janeiro Mission and earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Utah in accounting with a minor in Portuguese. He worked as an executive at Easton Sports and as president of OGIO International. He has also served on several corporate and philanthropic boards.

At the time of his call, he was serving on the Young Men general advisory council. Sister Wunderli serves on the Primary general advisory council. From 2020 to 2023, they served as leaders of the Cape Verde Praia Mission. Brother Wunderli has also served as a young single adult stake president and bishop, missionary training center branch presidency counselor, and ward Young Men president.
