David Strohm, Engineering Technician

David has been with Stockton East Water District since June 2022. He began his career as a Water Supply Operator and currently serves as an Engineering Technician.

David’s favorite part about working at Stockton East is the culture, the people he works with, and the rural environment the District serves. He values being part of a team that works collaboratively while supporting the surrounding agricultural community.

He chose his profession because of his long-standing interest in water and the opportunity to work close to home at Stockton East. The most satisfying part of David’s role is inspecting projects upon completion, knowing that it reflects the hard work and effort invested from start to finish.

Outside of work, David enjoys farming with his dad, staying closely connected to agriculture and family.

A fun fact about David is that when he graduated college, he was the only transfer student in his class to graduate on time.

David’s versatility, dedication, and connection to the community make him a valued member of the Stockton East team.

“David has been a great addition to our Engineering Department and he has shown a wide range of knowledge from water supply to project management in transitioning from Water Supply to his role as an Engineering Technician. He brings a strong understanding of the District’s systems and applies that knowledge effectively in his work. David takes pride in seeing projects through to completion, and his attention to detail and commitment to quality make him a valuable member of the engineering team.”

Martin Wunderlich, Water Supply Operator I

Martin has been with Stockton East Water District since October 2023, and currently serves our constituents as a Water Supply Operator I.

Martin’s favorite part about working at Stockton East is the people, along with the pay and benefits. He values being part of a team that supports one another while contributing to the District’s mission.

He chose his profession after hearing many positive things about Stockton East—especially from his grandfather, Operations Manager Jim Wunderlich—which inspired him to pursue the opportunity to join the organization. The most satisfying part of Martin’s role is meeting and talking with farmers and helping operate the water system that supports local agriculture.

Outside of work, Martin enjoys riding dirt bikes and boating with friends and family, making the most of his time outdoors.

A fun fact many may not know is that Martin owns a boat and enjoys spending time on the water, whether it’s relaxing, exploring local waterways, or making memories with family and friends.

Martin is a valued member of the team, bringing a positive attitude and a strong connection to the community the District serves.

“Martin has proven to be a valuable addition to the Water Supply team. He has demonstrated a willingness to learn and has taken every opportunity to gain knowledge from seasoned employees. His ability to work effectively with our agricultural customers and contribute to system operations reflects his dedication. I look forward to his continued growth and development within the District.”
Chris Donis, Water Supply Manager
