'''"Red Bull"''' has been one of the most skilled [[Perfect Dark]] and [[Goldeneye]] players from the Netherlands throughout the last 8 years. He is currently ranked as the best Dutch and European [[Perfect Dark]] player and is in the Top 6 worldwide. During his membership of [[The Elite]], Max always kept on improving himself and despite the fact that he took some breaks throughout his speedrunning career, he always managed to come back with even more impressive records. His incredible skills, knowledge and experience with [[Perfect Dark]] resulted into his first untied world record in 2008. From that point on, Max has been dominating stages such as [[Deep Sea]], [[Escape]] and [[Skedar Ruins]] with multiple second unties and has proven himself worthy as a contributor to the Overall Combined time. Max also contributed to [[The Elite]] by fulfilling the role of [[Perfect Dark]] news reporter, and is always up for some hilarious chatting in either the Elite Chatroom or on the [http://elite.speedrunwiki.com/forum/index.php Elite Boards].
