Kevin Martoken, fund accountant with Grassi & Co. in New York City, enjoys traveling in his free time. Kevin Martoken has visited several top destinations in Europe, including the “immortal city” of Rome.
As one of the world's most popular travel destinations, Rome can become packed with crowds. Sites like the Roman Forum and the Vatican are indeed must-see places for many travelers, but Rome is also home to a number of less well-known sites that are equally enchanting. Tucked away near the world-famous Colosseum are the Baths of Caracalla, built in the second decade of the third century. One of the best-preserved and largest baths of their kind, they allow visitors to view many of the original colorful floor mosaics as well as rooms that their original denizens used for exercising, reading, or relaxing. Furthermore, a visit to the Baths brings travelers to the start of history's first paved road. Those who wish to travel part of its 513 km length may find themselves passing the ruins of the villas and other buildings that once lined this thoroughfare. Lovers of the Roman villa may wish to experience the Villa Doria Pamphilli, a 180-hectare site that offers both beautiful architecture and relaxing gardens. However, those who prefer to immerse themselves in religious architecture may wish to head toward St. Ignatius Loyola Church, a Baroque masterpiece, or the grand San Paolo Fuori le Mura Basilica.

A financial services professional based in Manhattan, Kevin Martoken has worked for a number of leading asset-management firms since 2000. Currently, Kevin Martoken is a fund accountant with Grassi & Co., one of the largest accounting firms in the nation.
Founded in 1980, Grassi & Co. has remained committed not only to providing superior financial services but to supporting community outreach efforts as a corporate partner. Pursuant to this goal, Grassi & Co. has lent its support to the Education and Assistance Corporation (EAC), a not-for-profit organization supporting more than 70 programs throughout Long Island and New York City. One of the many services that EAC New York supports is Chance to Advance, a one-on-one youth mentorship program targeted at youth in foster care. There are more than 1,200 such young people on Long Island alone, many of whom lack a positive role model or educational foundation. As a result, three out of ten homeless individuals are former foster children, and seven out of ten do not complete high school. The Chance to Advance program pairs volunteer mentors with children in foster care ages 8 to 21, encouraging them to enrich their lives and pursue higher education. Additionally, individual donations support “Little Wishes” extracurricular activities, including sports camps, art lessons, singing lessons, and more. The Chance to Advance program is just one of the several outreach programs supported by EAC New York, which collectively aids more than 68,500 people each year. A fund accountant with New York City-based Grassi & Co., Kevin Martoken enjoys spending his time away from the office playing a variety of sports. Kevin Martoken is particularly active in a number of the city's football and soccer leagues.
While European football players use their feet much more frequently than their American counterparts, gridiron football takes its name from the various plays that begin and end each drive. Each half of an American football game begins with a kickoff, a play that sees one team kicking the ball downfield to their opponents. The receiving team can attempt to return the ball or signal for a fair catch and begin their offensive drive from wherever the kick lands. A drive can end in three ways, each involving kicking plays. Should an offensive team find themselves facing fourth down, they may elect to punt the ball. During a punt, the kicker drives the ball deep downfield, attempting to leave opponents with the poorest field positioning as possible. A successful drive, meanwhile, ends with either a field goal or a touchdown, the latter of which is followed by a 20-yard kick for an extra point. Both types of scoring drives are followed by a kickoff, which begins the cycle over again. |
