Tate was a member of AmeriCorps, a voluntary civil society program supported by the U.S. federal government, foundations, corporations and other donors that engages adults in public service work with a goal of "helping others and meeting critical needs in the community." During that time, Tate tutored hundreds of elementary students, worked summer camp programs, provided community service for Calcasieu Parish, assisted in disaster relief, provided security for public events, and held various other volunteer roles in the region.
Tate has a wife and three children, and when he isn’t being used as a human jungle gym, he enjoys casual evenings of games and drinks with friends.
He earned a B.S. in Engineering from McNeese State University in Lake Charles, LA.
