Meet

Married to Keith, Cindy is completely invested in this family owned business.

Karel brings lots of experience to Mulder’s from working at a variety of different jobs. All of this experience has helped Karel as she now manages Mulder’s Moving and Storage. She left a 16-year job with a national retail company to come work at this family-owned company. “It was an easy decision. My husband and I have been friends with Keith and Cindy and their family for over 30 years. I wanted to be a part of something special. Mulder’s is unlike any other company I have worked for. Everyone works together striving to achieve two goals – to make Mulder’s the top moving company in Kalamazoo and to make an impact on our community. I believe in Mulder’s Mission Statement ‘To be a company of excellence and integrity by taking care of our employees and customers. We will strive to give back to our community and leave it better than we found it.’ I considered it a privilege being asked to join Mulder’s in August of 2013 and to be a part of that mission. I always said that when I became a manager I wanted to treat employees how I wanted to be treated while honoring the company I work for. I use this same philosophy when dealing with customers.”

Donna joined the Mulder’s team in the fall of 2017. She brings over ten years of accounting and office experience into her office assistant role at Mulder’s. With an associates degree in business administration, Donna has the knowledge and skill to do just about anything! You may speak to Donna when you call into our main office line. You also may hear from her regarding billing information, packing material charges, and more. “I like working for Mulder’s because it is a family-oriented environment where you’re not treated as just another member of the staff.  There is sincere care for everyone’s well-being and it is always made known how much you are appreciated for the work you do each day.  This makes coming into work each day that much easier and more enjoyable!”

Alyssa graduated from Western Michigan University with degrees in public relations, advertising and promotion, and event management. During her college education, she founded the live horse presentation at WMU before each home football game and other events at the university. She worked as a public relations ambassador, helped plan pre-event ceremonies, and helped with merchandising and promotion for WMU. A month after graduation, she was hired by a national retail company where she held the Marketing Manager title. She accepted a position at Mulder’s Moving and Storage in the spring of 2018, and loves the emphasis on local marketing for this locally owned and operated small business. “It is very rewarding to see success from your marketing efforts for a small business like Mulder’s Moving and Storage. The owners and staff here are so great, and the atmosphere is like a family. It isn’t just about our bottom line like I have experienced in other work environments. Instead, Mulder’s has a focus on treating clients and employees well, and to do good by the community. I am very grateful to be a part of a team that genuinely cares about their reputation, staff, and customers.” You may see Alyssa out on move jobs. She takes the company photos and videos and then uses them for marketing collateral!

Jim Lentz

Jim came to Mulder’s in January of 2016 after a thirty year career in the education field. He has a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from Western Michigan University. He has been involved in various school districts in the Kalamazoo area. In addition to his career in education, Jim also worked as a cost accountant, dispatcher, and sales representative. His personal goal is to provide exemplary service at all times and he is excited to work with clients and help make a successful moving experience. “Mulder’s has provided me the opportunity to use my skills to help people and I value the chance to be part of a team that strives for excellence in everything that they do.”

Mike started as a helper in March of 1984, and trained with Brian Benthin as an over the road driver and obtained his class A license in 1990. He actually ended his employment with Mulder’s as lead driver in 1997 to join up with a couple of great guys he knew in North Carolina who had just taken over a failing Mayflower agent. In eight years, they turned that failing company into the #1 moving company in the nation. That year, he was awarded the “Van H. Finch Award” for outstanding customer service. He was the lead supervisor at the time and then moved into dispatch for 2 ½ years. Mike returned to Michigan and Mulder’s in 2010. Mike has found it a fulfilling challenge as a mover, salesman and now operations manager to help grow Mulder’s into Kalamazoo’s elite mover. “I feel so blessed working with the outstanding, dedicated people at Mulder’s.”

James joined the team in the summer of 2018. He has fourteen years of moving experience and has enjoyed every day of it! He truly cares about doing his job well and ensuring that our customers have a great move. “My favorite part about working for Mulder’s is that I feel like I am working with a family again. I mean something to a big company instead of being just another name on a payroll.” When James is not on the job you can probably catch him out on the water. Him and his family love to fish!
