Mike Nolan
I was born and raised in St. Louis, but have lived in Columbia since 2007. I am happily married and have two little girls at home. I am the Senior Director for The Blue Note and Rose Music Hall. I love all Missouri sports teams (plus the Boston Celtics) and I dig fast abrasive music. I've always had an affinity for the arts and I'm super excited to participate in this year's CelebrARTy competition!
