 Shortly thereafter, Derek turned his focus to [[GoldenEye 007|Goldeneye]].  He gained ranks quickly here, jumping into the top ten after only a year of competition, and providing great proof for his times.  After coming close to the then-record 2:29 on Statue 00 Agent, he set out to improve the strategy, and quickly gained three World Records on the stage with 2:28/2:27/2:28.  After [[Randy Buikema]] lowered the WRs to 2:27/2:27/2:27, Derek played Statue obsessively until he achieved 2:26 on 00 Agent, earning him the title of "The Statue Master."  He peaked at 4th place and retired in early 2003.
