“I am incredibly proud of my accomplishments during my first term as Recorder, from increasing participation in our Deed Watch program to making it easier to apply for marriage licenses online. I look forward to continuing my service to the people of Boone County,” Nolte said in the release.

The release says Nolte spent nearly a decade working for Mizzou Athletics and ended his tenure as the director of compliance. He has a bachelor’s degree in history from Binghamton University and a master’s degree in education administration from the University of Southern California.
