East Tennessee Volunteer Spotlight: David Duweltz - July 2018

A French native, David Duweltz and his family temporarily relocated to Knoxville, TN for his wife, Caroline’s job. At home, David works in customer interface for a paper manufacturer. At the Red Cross of East TN, he has jumped in with both feet volunteering nearly every day since joining the chapter in April. He has assisted with Sound the Alarm, disaster preparedness exercises, fire safety house programs to students, volunteer services and a host of administrative and community outreach projects.

In addition to enthusiasm, David has brought a creative perspective to his volunteerism. East TN wants to celebrate David’s drive and his gift for out-of-the-box thinking. Learn a bit more about him below:
