Graduated from KU in 2020, Communications and Poli Sci.

4 years of debate experience at Lawrence Free State, 3 years in the DCI pool.

The main thing I want to see from you is persuasion. I'm persuaded by good analysis; a clear explanation of your arguments, how they clash with your opponents' arguments, where on the flow you are winning, and why/how your best arguments outweigh the arguments of your opponents.

IMPORTANT: No college debate experience and 0 rounds judged on the 2022 topic. In other words I haven’t debated since 2015, please slow down and explain what is happening. Sorry, that means No Spreading™. Talking quickly is fine as long as you're breaking it down for me. I don't know any of the affs, topic neg arguments, acronyms or latest trends.

Tabula Rasa. The 2nd rebuttals should write the RFD for me. Please do not leave me to figure out what I should be voting on and weigh the impacts myself, that would be bad for everyone involved. :P

Make good arguments and tell me why you should win the debate.

Run whatever you want, I’m more than willing to vote on any argument (barring racism/sexism/homophobia, etc.) I'm really entertained by fun out-of-the-box arguments though.

Tech is more important than truth, so long as you do a good job with warrant extensions and impact analysis.

Above all else, be kind, be kind, be kind!!! Do not put anyone down, make fun of them, imply they are stupid, etc. Debate should be a positive space for learning and growth and friendship~<3
