Chris Ruhlin

Environmental Consultant

Hey! I'm Chris Ruhlin, your go-to environmental consultant and the Team Lead at RMA's Delaware Office. Most days, you'll find me out and about, working closely with our clients, guiding them through the maze of permits, approvals, and regulations. Whether it's hands-on training in the field, crafting educational videos, or conducting inspections, my goal is to make compliance straightforward and stress-free for everyone involved.

Since joining the RMA crew in 2013, I've had the opportunity to not only apply my background as a GIS Specialist but also deepen my expertise in environmental regulations. It's all about demystifying the legal jargon so you can understand the real-world impact on your operation—without the headache.

When I'm not in work mode, I'm all about embracing the great outdoors. You might catch me hiking, tending to my garden, or catching waves. My backyard boasts a custom Frisbee golf course that's more challenging than it looks, complete with its own set of house rules. At home, I'm lucky enough to spend my downtime with my wonderful wife and our adorable cat!
