Not quite in the serfty or Kiwi Flyer league, but nevertheless a quite respectable 1560 SCs and 65,916 miles (with a status change from Gold to Platinum) from flying and another 17,333 in loyalty bonuses.
Are you sure that's a DONE4? It has 10 north america segments which is more than the free allowance (6) plus the additional segments that can be purchased (2). I suppose some of those flight segments could be single flight number with en route transit that AA (and other us-based airlines) specialise in and hence counting less to the DONE4 segment tally.
