== Before The Elite ==

David first became interested in speedrunning Goldeneye in 2006 after watching many World Record videos at [[Speed Demos Archive]]. Later that year he completed [[Depot]] Agent 0:26 and subsequently joined [[The Elite]] in November.

== Early Goldeneye Career ==

−

Shortly after becoming a member, David achieved more of the common World Records such as [[Runway]] Secret Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ol3eAP4lCQ 0:23], [[Surface 1]] Agent 1:03 and [[Archives]] Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LaP0vjzV9M 0:16]. This was quickly followed by a pair of 55s the two harder difficulties.

This was quickly followed by a pair of 55s on the two harder difficulties.

−

The first sign that he was destined to push beyond the more widely obtained Records was after he completed [[Bunker 1]] 00 1:08 in January 2007. 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.

== Rapid Improvement ==

In April of 2007, David achieved his first untied World Record, [[Surface 2]] 00 1:28, which remained unmatched for most of the year. Following this success, he went on to tie many of Bryan's personal records over the spring and summer, eventually obtaining several more untied WRs including [[Surface 2]] Secret Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL9ZkaUrJMo 0:53] and [[Bunker 1 00]] 1:04.

After matching still more existing records towards the end of the year, David went on a spree in the winter, lowering times all over the place. He got [[Archives]] Secret Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilohiIKOaCw 0:54], 00 Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9GEgHdEsKs 0:54] [[Bunker 2]] Secret Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ_01emK95w 0:46] (2 second untied at the time), [[Aztec]] Secret Agent 1:38 (though he eventually got [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8yidDzYDiw 1:36]), [[Aztec]] 00 Agent 1:43 (no longer a WR or his PR), [[Control]] Secret Agent 4:10 (now [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1nYs-e6CeE 4:07]), [[Caverns]] Secret Agent 1:20 and 00 Agent 1:37, [[Dam]] 00 Agent 1:57, [[Surface 2]] 00 Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RViwt3bHZ3s 1:26] and [[Bunker 1]] Secret Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEzDQ9-ILIs 0:21].

The most accepted date on which David passed Bryan for first place is February 9th, 2008, when Boss made a [http://perfectdarkelite.yuku.com/topic/13452 topic] about this achievement. It is believed that the record which gave Clemens the upper edge was either [[Facility]] 00 Agent 0:54 or [[Surface 1]] Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dH5RQUO-g9k 1:02], however since neither player was fully ranked during a large span of time due to their proof issues, it could have been any of Clemens' Personal Records between January 1 and March 1, 2008, which gave him first place.

Whilst David continued to rise past Bryan, so did [[Rayan Isran]]. These two are in constant competition, obtaining untied world records frequently, to which the other player will tie the record in only a few days. Some examples of this phenomenon are [[Silo]] Agent 1:02, [[Control]] 00 Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVwjCSfTG_M 4:11], Secret Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1nYs-e6CeE 4:07] and [[Surface 1]] Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dH5RQUO-g9k 1:02].

David continues to set ridiculous records on other levels such as [[Egypt]] Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz7lUSaca_k 0:45] ~~which is considered one of the most maxed records in the game~~. He ~~has~~ remained the Number 1 ranked [[Goldeneye]] player ~~to this day~~ and ~~is still setting~~ amazing untieds such as [[Silo]] 00 Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1MGWKUaIn0 1:22] and [[Surface 2]] ~~00 Agent~~ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPGMN3clwas 1:25].

David continues to set ridiculous records on other levels such as [[Egypt]] Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz7lUSaca_k 0:45]. He remained the Number 1 ranked [[Goldeneye]] player for a very long time and set amazing untieds such as [[Silo]] 00 Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1MGWKUaIn0 1:22] and [[Aztec]] Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5Ow6qXOI5s 1:26]. [[Rayan Isran]] eventually regained his champ status in early 2013, but David is still on an extremely solid 2nd spot, holding a few insane untieds such as [[Surface 2]] 00A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPGMN3clwas 1:25] and [[Bunker 2]] SA [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feVS7NON8AA 0:44]. The latter is considered one of, if not the best, untied in the game since it's untied by 2 seconds even though being a comparatively short and much played level.

David has also shown incredible talent in [[Perfect Dark]], currently holding 24 World Records, and having achieved 28 untieds of ~~which 12~~ are still untieds today.

David has also shown incredible talent in [[Perfect Dark]], currently holding 25 [[World Records]], and having achieved 29 untieds so far, despite having not even played most of the levels. 10 are still untieds today and no one at the moment holds more untieds than David between both games.

Some of David's magnificent PD untieds include [[Extraction]] SA [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUs5UIXn8OE 1:18], [[Extraction]] PA [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3IzcrXb4ZQ 1:29], [[Chicago]] A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ds0QzFIpVo 0:14], [[G5]] A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZraPvCRjdE 0:36], [[Infiltration]] A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1OwbtsVyVU 1:10] and a sweep on [[Pelagic 2]] (0:46/1:40/1:57).

David has met [[Bryan Bosshardt]] several times, one occasion while the pair were the top two ranked [[Goldeneye]] players in the world.

In May of 2011 David and [[Alex Anderson]] flew to Sweden to meet [[Henning Blom]], [[Eise Smit]], [[Marc Rützou]], [[Illu]] and [[Patrik Nilsson]]. It was the most epic meet in Elite History.
