If Ivan could witness any event, he would want to be there when we make contact with extra-terrestrial life.

One thing Ivan likes about himself is his confidence and ability to always look at the bright side of life.
Ivan believes the secret to a great life is to be honest and true to yourself.
Five years from now, Ivan hopes to be starting a family, and still be playing soccer.
