In April 2002, Yvan was the subject of a major photo feature of Playgirl Magazine. This feature raised Yvan's stature to that of an internationally recognized model and he has since appeared on the covers of countless magazines, books on the male physique, and three more times in follow up issues of Playgirl.

Today, Yvan is recognized internationally and travels throughout Europe and North America shooting with a variety of photographers. He has starred in three workout videos and a series of other videos with Mega Muscle Productions. His site for members launched the summer of 2004 and is constantly updated.

For the future, Yvan wants to continue modeling and expand in to acting. He is currently the face (and body!) of Ginch Gonchunderwear and has just finished shooting a pilot involving his adventures. No matter what the future holds for Yvan, you can be sure he will approach it with the positive outlook that his fans have come to love!
