They have been married for 28 years and have 3 children: Mackenzie, Cassidy and Kennedy. Noble also has a rescue dog, Lucky, and a Corgi, Milo.

Noble’s grandfather, James Noble, was the first family member active in 4-H. Noble has a framed copy of the April 3, 1926 front page of the Pioneer Press (St. Paul, Minnesota) showcasing his grandfather with his grand champion bull, Marshall. Noble’s mother followed her father’s footsteps into 4-H, followed by Noble’s older sister, Kirsten McIntyre. Noble continued the tradition while in school and fondly remembers his memories attending Oklahoma 4-H State Roundup. Noble credits his speaking skills to his early days in 4-H where he entered speech contests simply to beat his sister, Kirsten, over and over again. He is still looking for ways to win against her. Pictured above with his grand champoin bull, Marshall, is James Noble.
