'''Brian Dupont''' aka '''Swompz''' is an up and coming [[Goldeneye]] player who joined [[The Elite]] in 2013.
'''Brian "Swompz" Dupont''' (born June, 1987 in Troy, New York) is an up and coming [[The Elite|Eliter]] who joined the [[The Elite|The Elite's]] [[GoldenEye]] [http://rankings.the-elite.net/goldeneye/ Rankings] in 2013.
== Discovering and Joining The Elite ==
The first half of 2013 witnessed Brian 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 likes 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. [[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. The randomly selected person was none other than [[Jim Barrett]].
Brian believed it was for the best to thoroughly explain his gaming credentials in his application to join the [[The Elite]]. 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 nature, led the popular Twitch streamer and Top 10 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].
== GoldenEye Career ==
Brian's first posted time was [[Runway]] Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPjTLOat-w0/ 0:23], quickly followed by [[Bunker 1]] Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb5flLjeu60/ 0:18], [[Archives]] Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwjPc3V46RI/ 0:17] and [[Dam]] Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16Ni1k8f__w 0:54]. This led to a paragraph discussing these feats in an [http://www.the-elite.net/let-the-summer-entertainment-begin/ article] on [[The Elite]] [http://www.the-elite.net/ website].
Since then Brian has achieved [[Depot]] Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znSqol9-TCY/ 0:26] which is his favorite and perhaps best time to date.
Brian has also achieved [[Streets]] Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK-GZFGg7Ec/ 1:15], [[Surface 1]] Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seGWwyO4KnA/ 1:06], [[Surface 2]] Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmOG4dRBCpk/ 0:55] and [[Runway]] Secret Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLEm5lhw42M/ 0:24]. He has also ran the table on [[Egypt]], obtaining Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unQ__AqUerQ/ 0:51], Secret Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bSFF_AtUo4/ 0:52] and 00 Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6fyUZeBdxg/ 0:52] respectively.
Brian appreciates the numerous friends he's made within [[The Elite]] and, like a lot of them, is a regular streamer on [http://www.twitch.tv/swompz/ Twitch].
== Personal Life ==
Brian is married and lives in St. Petersburg, Florida (not Russia as he's always reminded during one of the [[Streets]] cinematics). His wife Erika can be seen in his [[Depot]] Agent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znSqol9-TCY/ 0:26] giving him a celebratory hug. The pseudonym Swompz was thought of and originated from his honeymoon where him and his wife camped overnight in a particularly dangerous, swampy environment.
Brian is a Registered Pharmacy Technician (RPhT) in the state of Florida.
