'''David Clemens''' is the [[Goldeneye 007]] Champion. He first joined [[the Elite]] in late 2006, and just over 1 year later, he became the first to dethrone [[Bryan Bosshardt]] atop his #1 Goldeneye World Ranking. David is currently 21 years old residing in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. David became very interested in speedrunning GE after watching many [[World Record]] videos. Before he joined The-Elite.net he obtained [[Depot]] Agent 0:26 as his first WR. Shortly after joining, he achieved other easier, more common WRs such as [[Runway]] Secret Agent 0:23, [[Surface 1]] A 1:03 and [[Archives]] A 0:16 (with a pair of 55s on SA/00A shortly after). [[Bunker 1]] 00A 1:08 was among his first good PRs (only [[Jim Barrett]] and [[Ilari Pekkala]] had 1:08, and only Bryan Bosshardt and [[Wouter Jansen]] had better,) a sign of what was to come on that level, as he achieved 1:07 a month or so later, his first "good" world record.

David became very interested in speedrunning Goldeneye in 2006 after watching many World Record videos. He obtained [[Depot]] Agent 0:26 as his first WR and in late 2006 joined The [[Elite]].
Shortly after becoming a member, he achieved more of the common WRs such as [[Runway]] Secret Agent 0:23, [[Surface 1]] A 1:03 and [[Archives]] A 0:16. This was quickly followed by a pair of 55s on SA/00A. The first sign that he was destined to push beyond the more widely obtained WRs was after he obtained [[Bunker 1]] 00A 1:08. Only two other players - [[Jim Barrett]] and [[Ilari Pekkala]] - had posted this time previously, and only [[Bryan Bosshardt]] and [[Wouter Jansen]] had better. A month later he had tied Bryan and Wouter with 1:07.
== Road to the top ==
In April of 2007, David achieved his first untied World Record]], which was [[Surface 2]] 00A 1:28. This went untouched for the majority of 2007, until [[Henning Blom]] matched it in December, and shortly after beat it with an impressive 1:27.
Following Surface 2 00, David made a name for himself as he went on to tie a several of Bryan's personal records over the spring and summer, eventually achieving several other untied WRs including Surface 2 SA 0:53 and Bunker 1 00A 1:04 which are still untied.
After tieing several more existing WRs towards the end of the year, David went on a spree in the Winter, untieing WRs all over the place. He got a pair of Archives 54s on SA/00A, shortly after getting [[Bunker 2]] SA 0:46 (2 second untied at the time), [[Aztec]] SA 1:38 (though he eventually got 1:36), Aztec 00A 1:43 (no longer a WR or his PR), Control SA 4:10 (now 4:07), Caverns SA 1:20 and 00A 1:37, [[Dam]] 00A 1:57, Surface 2 00A 1:26 and Bunker 1 SA 0:21
His most recent and one of the most maxed WRs in GE, [[Egyptian]] Agent 0:45.
== Number One ==
On bla bla, just over 1 year after joining the Elite, David Clemens became the first to player to legitimately overtake Bryan Bosshardt to become the new #1 Ranked Goldeneye Player in the World.
