Experience:
- Team Policy Debate (Stoa; 2016-2019)
- American Parliamentary Debate (Stoa; 2017-2019)
- International Public Debate (IPDA; 2021-Current)
- Team International Public Debate (IPDA; 2021-Current)
Paradigm:
- Well-explained evidence/data outweighs any other form of support
- Clear signposting is appreciated
- Impact calculus matters a lot
- Don't be rude to your opponent or judge, yelling will always lose you speaking points
- Be relaxed, debate is just a conversation! Don't be afraid to have fun

DEBATE
My debate philosophy is quite simple, I prefer clear, structured arguments about the resolution. I dont enjoy spending the entire round hearing arguments about framework and definitions unless ABSOLUTELY necessary to the round. I also prefer quality arguments over a mass quantity of arguments. I prefer speeches that are slow and easy to understand rather than overloading your opponent and judge with fast arguments. I tend to not vote on dropped arguments unless it is absolutely necessary in the round. With organization, signposting contentions and on-time, brief road maps are preferred.
Most importantly, I expect all competitors to be respectful and civil when debating. I will not tolerate rude competition.
IE
For individual events and speeches, organization is very important. All parts of a speech should be easily identifiable. I am listening to the content of a speech as well as the delivery. Is there eye contact with the judge and audience? Do you know your speech well? Speeches should not be over the time limit.
