Mike has known about the [[GoldenEye]] speedrunning community since the days of GoldenEye Extreme in 1998 or so.  However, he did not join [[The Elite]] until July 2003, when he submitted a batch of [[GoldenEye]] times that were completely and utterly awful.  After a few weeks of playing, he achieved his first World Record, Bunker 1 0:18, on 7 August 2003.  In the following months, he slowly but steadily improved his times, but most of the recognition he achieved was for his humorous name (because it has "desk" in it, obviously).  Mike peaked at 32nd place in mid-2006, achieving a total of 10 World Records between 2003 and 2006.

In addition to GoldenEye, Mike has also competed at [[Perfect Dark]].  In addition to Duel 3 and 6, he achieved several notable times, including Rescue SA 2:22, which was worth 94 points at the time.  He also became one of only a few people to complete all 21 levels on [[License to Kill]].  He also beat a few levels on [[Dark License to Kill]], most notably becoming the first person to beat [[WAR!]] on this setting.  Mike also competed briefly in [[Mario Kart 64]], achieving the rank of Elite F.

Mike returned in June 2009 with a small number of PRs in both GE and PD, including Duel 9 at the 2009 Virginia meet, becoming the second person to achieve a World Record at a Virginia meet.  He appeared on several episodes of [[The DK and Comet Show]], attended every Virginia meet since 2009, and developed several projects for the Elite, including the [http://mg.thengamer.com/pdltk/ PD LTK Rankings], the [http://www.thengamer.com/updates/elite/2012/firstvote/index.php First Vote Rankings], and the [http://thengamer.com/multi/index.php GoldenEye Multiplayer Database].  Despite not playing GE or PD much (or ever, really) and being completely absent from the community for most of the year, he somehow retains enough popularity to keep making the [[Elite Summer Contest]].  He's not entirely sure how.

* Mike was the last player to get both Bunker 1 A 0:18 and Surface 2 A 0:53 as World Records.  He would like to think that this means something, but it really doesn't.

* Mike has beaten Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas to 100% completion way too many times, including two speedruns, the best of which took just over 20 hours of game time.  He once hoped to complete a third speedrun and submit it to [[Speed Demos Archive]], but this may or may not ever happen.

* Mike has Surface 2 SA 0:55 and [[Jim Barrett|Jimbo]] doesn't.  Suck it, Jimbo.

* Despite being notoriously skinny, Mike can eat large quantities of food in one sitting and not gain a pound thanks to his ridiculously fast metabolism.
