David Grislis

David Grislis works in the oil industry, specifically in the sector regarding garments and textiles. David’s role is in business development consultancy at DuPont, which means he connects clients with the distributors that best suit their needs. Part of his job requires staying constantly informed about technologies and advancements in Nomex, which is used in the manufacture of fire-retardant apparel. This clothing is especially useful for firefighters and the military, as well as anyone in an occupation that would expose them to a high-heat or flammable environment. David Grislis is also an avid adoption and fostering advocate, heavily involved in the foster-care community. Involvement in the foster-care system is a deeply personal matter for David– it’s his way of giving back to others. Especially with young children, it’s doubly a unique experience and rewarding work.
