Michael joined the MKDS site shortly after the game's release, immediately becoming world champion and completely dominating the game, at one time holding all 64 world records at once.  He held the title for 99 days, until losing it to [[Miguel Rodriguez]].  A few months later he regained the title for 2 weeks before losing it for good to [[Thomas Bolton]].  He eventually retired and continued to drop in the rankings.  Michael also competed in [http://www.mariokart64.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1169541320 Non-MT] and in [http://cyberscore.net/group-1506.php mission mode], where he used to hold many world records.  He was not very good at wifi, but played it occasionally.  He created the [http://z9.invisionfree.com/MKDSWifiRatings/index.php?act=idx MKDS Wifi Ratings site] as well as the Time Trial Pwnage clan (both are no longer active).

Michael joined the MKSC site in August 2006, shortly after MKSC was added to the [http://www.mariokart64.com/combinedranks/ combined MK rankings], in order to regain the #1 spot that he briefly lost to [[Sami Cetin]].  He is currently ranked #5.  He used to hold several world records, but has lost all of them except for RBC3 flap ([http://youtube.com/watch?v=CCT0I1H8pfU 12.85]).  He has not yet modified his GBA SP, so he will most likely return to MKSC someday to try out ZZMTing.
