His history from baby dyke to his transition in 1999, has been filled with countless experiences, obstacles and joy. As an OG in the leather scene, this old dog is still learning new tricks while educating all those who desire to learn. Nikolas lived in Philadelphia for 30 years returning to upstate Pennsylvania in 2017. After a short lived semiretirement, he is now living in Baltimore MD.
