Hey! I’m Tate Hunter, and I’m one of the main folks behind what you see, read, and experience on this site. From building training programs to writing explainer content to helping shape the tools that make compliance less overwhelming, my role at RMA is all about turning complexity into clarity.
I ended up here at RMA through the lens of business and communication - not science - which makes me a bit of a translator by default. I partner closely with our environmental consultants to unpack the technical side of things, then craft resources that actually make sense to real people in real industries.
Over the years, I’ve helped refine how we educate and empower clients, whether that’s through a course, a calculator, or a simple answer to a question you didn’t even know how to ask. I believe environmental compliance shouldn't feel like a maze, and I'm here to help make the path easier to follow.
A bit about me: I hail from the shores of the Chesapeake Bay in Annapolis, Maryland, which kindled my lifelong affair with the great outdoors and life on the water. I ventured a bit south for college, snagging my BS in Business Administration from the University of North Carolina Wilmington. When I'm not at work, you can find me whipping up something tasty in the kitchen, trying my luck fishing off the boat (catching is a different story), hunting for fossils, searching for the best taco in town, or attempting not to sprain an ankle on the halfpipe.
I hope we get the chance to work together, and make sense of the complex environmental stuff along the way.

Resource Management Associates is a key influence to our environmental program. We operate several ready-mix concrete plants in 3 states, which all have unique regulations to deal with. They've assisted in everything from seeking approvals from local townships, preparing SWPPPs, environmental training for employees, and establishing environmental best practices at our concrete plants. RMA has done an excellent job of maintaining compliance with new environmental laws and regulations. By working with RMA we have been proactive and are one step ahead of any visits from environmental agencies.

Simply put, as a consultant to the ready mixed concrete industry, Doug Ruhlin and the staff of RMA are one of the foremost authorities in terms of environmental regulations, permits, and responsibilities.

I have known RMA for fifteen years and found them to be extremely professional, with a special insight for identifying issues others might overlook. Their keen eye and excellent communication skills set them apart from other environmental consultants. We are always relieved when we learn that RMA has been involved in a client’s environmental assessments and compliance programs.

I have known RMA for many years and I greatly respect their knowledge. They've served on concrete industry committees in leadership roles and have helped develop and professionalize the concrete industry's body of knowledge with regard to environmental management and compliance. The Tennessee Concrete Association hired Doug Ruhlin of RMA to help with a revision to our NPDES Stormwater Management Plan when our statewide permit was last revised. Doug (and RMA's) work was excellent and I am happy to recommend them to others.

We had the pleasure of working with RMA for our environmental consulting needs, and we are thoroughly impressed with their expertise and professionalism. From the initial consultation to the final permit issuance, their team was knowledgeable, thorough, and responsive. Doug, Tate & their team took the time to understand our specific challenges and provided clear, actionable advice that helped us navigate environmental regulations for our recycling facility with the DEP and EPA officials. Their attention to detail and commitment to delivering high-quality work exceeded our expectations. They even helped us by looping in other specialized professionals to complete various required testing/ tasks for our permit application. If you're looking for an environmental consulting firm that is reliable, knowledgeable, and results-driven, I highly recommend RMA. They are true professionals who go above and beyond to support their clients.

After an extensive search, our firm hired RMA to educate our team on industry environmental best practices. Doug and his team were very thorough in their presentation and supporting documentation, and gave us a real world expectation of what we should be mindful of regarding reclaiming, slurry water, pH levels, permitting and other topics. I would highly recommend RMA to any company interested in understanding the important elements of environmental compliance, sustainability and those interested in positioning themselves as leaders in environmental stewardship.

RMA and the professionals that run the company took a chance on me starting about 7 years ago and we've worked steadily together every since. As a subcontractor, I appreciate how effortlessly my invoices get processed. Everyone could use a Doug Ruhlin, the RMA founder, in their life. He may not always tell people what they want to hear, but he uses his vast experience to help the next generation of professionals build on his legacy and move forward with confidence.
