Summary

In the men's 50-54-year-old division, not only did Kevin Koester become a four-time Games champion, he did it by beating the next best competitor, John Kim, by 190 points—the most dominant performance in any division. A competitive athlete in his youth, he started his career as an Ironworker at 19 years old. Today he runs a large steel erection company. While continuing to make his family a priority, Kevin now takes time for new challenges, such as, Crossfit and opening Invictus Seattle. He hopes to inspire masters and individuals alike to create their blueprint for success in both CrossFit and life.
