Nolin is a digital reporter/producer for Alaska's News Source.
Nolin has served as a sports reporter in Juneau for three years.
Nolin wrote many memorable stories for the Juneau Empire, including the tale of Juneau's four-time Guinness World Record holder and his record-setting tongue.
He has a keen interest in Southeast Alaska sports, looking forward every winter to covering basketball season and the long-running Lions Club Gold Medal Tournament.
He hopes to one day pen a book on the times and travels of Dr. Walter Soboleff, or at least remember to write postcards every November in honor of him.
