Other than being average in school, playing a lot of soccer, playing outside in general wich the average kid usually do, Marc was also known for his insane gaming skills and anyone who dared challenge him, usually had to face the lost. There was already some trace of speedrunning in Marc's early life when he mainly played [[Goldeneye]], [[Super Mario 64]], [[Turok]] and [[Tekken]]. He would see how fast he could get 70 stars and then try to improve it even more. After trying out a lot of [[Turok]], he managed to beat it in a single day. However, his most memorable days of gaming was probably [[Turok 2]]. Marc always loved a good challenge so it didn't get any better than this. Marc joined a gaming club at his school when he was in 4th. grade, playing Tekken mostly. He went to win a lot of tournaments and even participated in a Danish Tekken 4 tournament at the age of 9 and made it to a nice 4th. place.

In many years he was quite unactive as for what gaming goes, but it wasn't until the age of 16 Marc discovered [[The Elite]] by an accident. He heard about the new SM64 glitch wich allowed you to finnish the game with only '''16 stars'''. Through SM64.com he found [[Ilari Pekkala]] and soon discovered his DLTK videos on Youtube. Watching the [[Facility]] world record without being impressed at all, he immediately became interested in [[Goldeneye]] speedrunning. He said to [[Eddie Lovins]] wich had the untied world record of '''1:47''', that he would cake his time. For Eddie this was just another Youtube noob, but Marc told he got 1:58 and Eddie kindly convinced him to join [[The Elite]]. This took place somewhere in April/May 2009. Marc didn't really have any ambitions in the Normal League as he thought he wasn't good enough.

After a lot of hours invested, Marc tied Eddie Lovins with [[Facility]] DLTK '''1:47'''. (He later untied it with '''1:44''' and pushed it down a second more to '''1:43''') He tried out Normal mode and to his suprise, quickly achieved decent times such as [[Dam]] Agent '''0:54''', [[Dam]] SA '''1:19''', [[Facility]] Agent '''0:48''', [[Bunker 1]] Agent '''0:18''', [[Silo]] Agent '''1:09''', [[Depot]] Agent '''0:26''' and [[Aztec]] Agent '''1:34''' wich he got first try in a session. However, there was a small debate going on the boards, if Marc was a legit person and doubted his times where actually real as he hasn't provided any proof. Marc had taped almost all his times though, but haven't found a way to get them online. He finally borrowed a good digcam and provided proof for his times '''30. July 2009''', one day before the '''Swedish Goldeneye meeting 2009''' was going to take place.

Without almost no practice in multi except playing [[Bunker]] 2 a little, Marc Participated in the Swedish meeting wich lasted from '''31. July - 2. August''' where he met [[Ilari Pekkala]], [[Miika Pekkala]], [[Eise Smit]], [[Trent Hovis]], [[Patrik Nilsson]], [[Axel Zakrisson]] and [[Henning Blom]]. He played against Henning in the first round and lost '''10-9''' in the 3rd. and final match in [[Archives]] and lost to [[Ilari Pekkala]] in a 3rd. match aswell '''10-6''', wich also was in [[Archives]]. The 2nd. match between them both was [[Bunker 2]] and Marc won them both. Marc duped [[Silo]] Agent '''1:09''' at the meeting and tried a lot of [[Aztec]] Agent aswell. Having problems with the glass door on [[NTSC]] and having some deaths, Marc didn't succeed to lower his '''1:34'''.

Shortly after the Swedish meeting, Marc finally got [[Aztec]] Agent '''1:32'''. Being very unsatisfied with the run, after few hours of contribution, he achieved [[Aztec]] Agent '''1:31''' as a world record. Even though 1:31 took him a short amount of time, going from 1:34 to 1:32 still took over '''70''' hours. 5 days later, [[David Clemens]] (The current Goldeneye champion) told him about a little new timesaver and the very same day, Marc achieved [[Aztec]] Agent '''1:30''' as an untied world record. Clemens tied it the next day. He eventually got SA '''1:38''' and 00A '''1:43''' very quickly. He later tied Aztec SA '''1:36''', wich used to be a '''2 seconds''' untied by Clemens. Today, Marc stands as 2nd. on the [[Aztec]] leaderboards and is planning to hit his second untied very soon. (Aztec Secret Agent 1:35)

Marc Decided to push it to the next level and played for even better times. Still only having access to a ((PAL)) system, he achieved times such as [[Bunker 1]] DLTK '''2:06''', [[Dam]] SA '''1:18''', [[Silo]] Agent '''1:04''', [[Bunker 2]] SA '''0:52''', [[Jungle]] Agent '''0:52''' and [[Caverns]] Agent '''1:02''' wich was a world record and a [[PAL]] untied. Marc ordered a [[NTSC]] copy of [[Goldeneye]] and immediately achieved [[Dam]] '''0:53/1:17/1:59''' when it arrived. Marc who was whelming with confidence at this moment, pushed his gaming to the next level wich would proof he is among the '''best''' GE player in the world.
