This is Nikolas's sister, Thea, and their dog, Cosmo. Nikolas says, "Thea is my favorite sister and, um, actually, she's my only sister! She's really smart and a great writer- she's published a book! She's the one who manages my website. Thank you, Thea!"

Nikolas's black & yellow running shoes. A huge Pittsburgh sports fan (dad's from there), black & yellow quickly became Nikolas's "trademark" colors. You'll find him at most running and track & field events fully outfitted in black & yellow—and always running in these shoes!
