[[The Elite]] forums led him to the [http://the-elite.net/chat.html Elite Chatroom] (which he can now be found in periodically) where he messaged a random screen name about getting started. That randomly selected person was none other than [[Jim Barrett]].

After being accepted, he put the same explanation in the "About Me" section on his [[The Elite|Elite]] [http://rankings.the-elite.net/~Swompz/ page]. Which, perhaps due to it's length and unusual nature, led the popular Twitch streamer and Top 5 ranked [[GoldenEye]] [[The Elite|Eliter]] [[Ryan White]] to make a [http://www.twitch.tv/theelitegaming/c/2369709/ video] reading it on [[The Elite|The Elite's]] [http://www.twitch.tv/theelitegaming/videos/ Twitch channel]. Brian has since simplified his "About Me" section.

He has subsequently accumulated a lot of other times and is currently ranked within the Top 80 of the world.

He also only posts times that are worth points within [[The Elite|The Elite's]] [http://rankings.the-elite.net/goldeneye/ Ranking] system.

Swompz is a former Eliter who joined the The Elite's GoldenEye Rankings in June 2013.
The first half of 2013 witnessed Swompz wanting to collect retro video game items, thus leading him to his local flea market where he obtained a Nintendo 64 and GoldenEye. After clearing the game on 00 Agent and transcending the target times (therefore unlocking all of the "acheatments" as he liked to call them) he wanted to continue his GoldenEye experience somehow. Searching the internet brought him to The Elite and he became eager to get involved.
In 2018 he closed his YouTube channel after being inactive since 2014.
