RMI is happy to welcome Chris Cooper to our team as Project Manager/Nutrient Management. Chris holds a Master’s Degree in Agribusiness from the University of Florida and a Bachelor’s Degree from Texas Tech University in Animal Production/Farm and Ranch Management.

Prior to joining RMI, Chris worked at the University of Florida Equine Sciences Center where he was the Farm Manager and Coordinator of Research Programs. Chris has also worked as a scuba diving instructor  and for seven years he worked as a horse trainer, performer and lead cowboy in the Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show at Disneyland Paris.

In his new job, Chris will be responsible for providing nutrient management planning for all sites receiving RMI p
roducts, assisting with the development and management of permitted land application sites, and supervising field staff.

Chris and his wife Jocelyn along with their three dogs are currently residing in their motor home in Ashland while they get familiar with their new surroundings and find more permanent quarters.

Holderness Fire Chief,
Eleanor Mardin, recently provided fire extinguisher training to RMI staff. The Federal Motor Carrier Rules require extinguishers in RMI trucks, and RMI’s Safety Plan requires them for its Holderness office.

Earlier this summer RMI invited Chief Mardin to provide a safety briefing and operational training in the use of various types of  fire extinguishers.

RMI held its 5th Annual Meeting on March 29, 2013 highlighting events of the prior year and providing an opportunity to recognize the accomplishments of RMI’s dedicated staff.
