This is me (and the MAGNIFICENT Coach B) nearly ten years ago, probably at the most fit of my adult life ( I was 185-190, 18% BF in these photos).  I had been doing Crossfit for just about a year and I was gung-ho about Paleo, Olympic Lifting, and whatever the WOD was at CrossFit MN (Now CrossFit Edina).

From there I went on to get my CFLV1 certification, during which I got to work and learn from two of my CrossFit heroes, Chris Spealler and Jon Gilson. 

and then, basically LIFE …
