'''Duck''' is a {{SSBM|Samus}} main from Ann Arbor, Michigan who is considered to be one of the best Samus players in the world, along with {{Sm|Plup}} and {{Sm|HugS}}, with wins against other top players such as {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, {{Sm|Leffen}}, and {{Sm|Westballz}} under his belt. He is known for his safe and calculated style of play, getting 5th at [[The Big House]] and beating HugS, in pools at [[Kings of Cali 3]]. He also managed to take two sets off of {{Sm|KirbyKaze}}, at [[SWEET XIV]] and [[The Come Up 2014]], as well as eliminating Leffen from [[DreamHack Winter 2015]]. He placed 13th at [[EVO 2015]] and 9th at [[The Big House 5]]. His most notable performance was [[DreamHack Winter 2015]] where he placed 5th and defeated {{Sm|SFAT}}, {{Sm|Wizzrobe}}, Leffen, and {{Sm|MacD}}. Duck is currently ranked 1st on the [[Michigan Melee Power Rankings]] and 14th on the [[2018 MPGR]].

On August 15, 2016, Duck was signed onto [[Denial eSports]], but left on January 5th, 2017.

On April 11, 2017, Duck was signed by [http://phoenix1.gg/ Phoenix1].<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://esports.yahoo.com/phoenix1-signs-duck-teams-first-super-smash-bros-melee-player-183419790.html|title=Phoenix1 signs Duck as the team's first Super Smash Bros. Melee player}}</ref>
