My name is Ivan Ilic, and I was born on August 21, 1981, in former Yugoslavia, North Serbia, in the City of SENTA. My parents arrived in America, and my grandmother, an American citizen, had a house in Plainfield, N.J. I graduated from High School in Plainfield, where I took extra classes in auto mechanics, drama, films, art, and songwriting. I even copyrighted seven songs and played soccer. In my free time, I spent a lot of time at the Public Library of Plainfield, studying and researching various subjects such as medicine, astronomy, physics, science, Einstein’s theory of physics, Nikola Tesla’s technology, and ancient archaeology. I also enjoyed reading science fiction books by authors like Jules Verne, Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, and H.G. Wells. 

After high school, I attended Union Technical Institute in Scotch Plains New Jersey, where I studied mechanical engineering, specializing in mold injection plastic and designing.
