'''Adam Bozon''' started speedrunning on [[GoldenEye]] in January 2006 after finding videos of [[Bryan Bosshardt]]'s [[Dam]] Agent 0:53 and [[Ilari Pekkala]]'s [[Aztec]] 00 Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heEFhpg3WKQ 1:54] on the Internet. He had done some speedrunning back in 1999 but never had access to videos or World Record strats so his times weren't very good. All he had to compete against were PRs that other people, such as Elite members [[Matthijs ten Ham]] and [[Steven Zwartjes]], had sent in to Nintendo 64 magazines.

Later in 2006, [[Ryan Koch]] added him to his rivalry which helped Adam to get to know some of the other newer improving players such as [[Axel Zakrisson]], [[Graham Maddocks]] and [[Henning Blom]] who are all still good friends with him today.

He joined the rankings in Spring 2006 when he started to get some better PRs. He managed to get 2:22/2:22/2:21 on [[Statue]] which was good enough for 5th place on the [http://rankings.the-elite.net/goldeneye/stage/statue Statue leaderboard] despite only being ranked about 100th overall at the time. He continued to move up the rankings and got [[Surface 2]] [[Secret Agent]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbXPzc1rRLQ 0:55] to earn his first World Record in November 2006. He has had a few more World Records since then, the best being his 0:37 and 0:36 on [[Runway]] 00 Agent using the difficult grenade strat, both of which had been untied for well over a year by [[Bryan Bosshardt]].

Adam is currently ranked just outside the GoldenEye top 30 on the [http://rankings.the-elite.net/goldeneye World Rankings] but has been in the top 30 several times and is in second place in the UK rankings behind [[Luke Pettit]] on points and [[Graham Maddocks]] on time. He still has a few really bad PRs and even some levels that he has never even watched a video of yet so he should be able to improve his ranking in the future.

He started using control style [[1.2]] in 2011 and bought an [[NTSC]] console in March 2012. Since then he has been working on some of the [[NTSC]] advantaged levels, especially those with some of the weaker World Records and has achieved four tied WRs since then. His current normal mode WRs are [[Dam]] AG [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6MJOWuVWI4 0:53], [[Statue]] AG [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0JVIaM74Q4 2:19] and [[Cradle]] 00A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27qWzsjEDp8 0:36].

Adam played this a lot early in 2007 but doesn't enjoy it as much so hasn't played it much since. He holds 9 world records, the best being his only untied turbo world record of [[Runway]] 00A 0:19, but nobody ever plays this league or updates the rankings any more.
