Niko

_DSC2092To study for board exams to become a certified trainer for athletes, Niko would ride the subway from the last stop in Queens to the World Trade Center and back, 2 or 3 times a night–headphones on (sometimes hip hop, sometimes Frank Sinatra), books in his lap–because, for him, there was no place quieter or more relaxing.
