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 in 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. 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.

His only current normal mode World Record is [[Dam]] AG [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6MJOWuVWI4 0:53].
