'''Bryan Bosshardt''' (born September 24, 1984) joined [[The Elite]] in August 2002. He is a former world champion of [[Goldeneye]] from December 2003 to February 2008 and [[Perfect Dark]] from August 2005 to December 2007.
Throughout the course of his career Bryan has achieved 216 World Records in Goldeneye, over 95 of which have been untied, and has similarly impressive accomplishments in Perfect Dark. He is generally accepted as being the most dominant Goldeneye speedrunner of all time even though he is currently ranked 6th in points and time, and 4th on the [[Goldeneye MVP Rankings|MVP Rankings]].

Upon joining The Elite, Bryan brought attention to himself straight away by discovering the no-Jaws strategy on [[Aztec]], which immediately resulted in the lowering of the combined [[Goldeneye]] time by more than a minute.
While that strat alone would have cemented Bryan in history as a legend, he went on to become a dominant force in the world of [[Goldeneye]], eventually dethroning longtime champion [[Wouter Jansen]]. He continued to play and reached what was thought to be his peak in spring of 2004, which is best known as the [http://www.geocities.com/silentthunder024/TET/GE4th.html Bosshardtian Rampage]. In this storm of Goldeneye fury, some of the untied world records Bryan achieved included a [[Silo]] sweep of 1:05/1:12/1:32, a [[Control]] sweep of 4:00/4:13/4:17, [[Bunker 1]] 00A 1:07 and a once-thought impossible [[Runway]] Agent 0:22.
On the 4th of April 2006 Bryan announced that he was retiring from competitive play. He made his return 6 days later when he achieved [[Archives]] 0:55s and caught up on other World Records he had lost from inactivity, such as [[Frigate]] 00 Agent 1:11 and [[Bunker 2]] 00 Agent 1:01. In the Spring of 2007, he began an even more productive output of great World Records than ever before, obtaining times such as [[Caverns]] 00A 1:38, a new Control sweep of 3:59/4:11/4:13, [[Depot]] 00A 0:50, and a [[Facility]] sweep of 0:45/0:54/0:54.
Bryan was eventually knocked out of first place, down to third by [[David Clemens]] and [[Rayan Isran]] in early 2008, but he continues to play [[Goldeneye]] on and off, with the goal of sweeping [[Statue]] once again.
== Perfect Dark ==
Bryan also dominated in [[Perfect Dark]], where he displaced [[Ryan Dwyer]] as the champion, making him the second person to simultaneously hold the championship of both [[Goldeneye]] and [[Perfect Dark]] after [[Randy Buikema]]. He achieved many impressive World Records, notably [[Extraction]] SA/00A 1:22/1:30, where his [[Special Agent]] record was untied by a staggering 8 seconds. When he was finally overtaken by [[Rayan Isran]] he had been champ for 854 days.
As of 2013, Bryan is ranked 4th and holding 8 untied WRs, including sweeps on [[Skedar Ruins]] and [[MBR]], the latter a level he's been dominating throughout the last 8 years.
== Misc ==
In addition to his [[Goldeneye]] and [[Perfect Dark]] feats, Bryan has held all 42 World Records in [[The World Is Not Enough]] simultaneously, all 60 World Records in the Goldeneye Turbo League simultaneously, and was the best American player of [[Mario Kart Double Dash!!]] in early 2004.
He is a regular and enthusiastic participant of Elite Fantasy Sports leagues, in which he has had great success.
