I debated 2 years in high school in Kansas City Mo. I then worked with my college team at Southwest Babtist Univeristy for about a year. I know am the debate coach at Staley High School in Kansas City.


 * Kritiks**: You can run them while I am judging, but it should be grounded in solid thought and thoery. Also it should not be your only argument in the round.


 * Counterplans/DAs**: I'm good with both.


 * Topicality**: It better be a good T argument or the aff really messed up or I won't be impressed with it.


 * Performance/Non-traditional debate:** I am definitely not the judge you want. I view debate as a game with rules that should be followed. I am open to listening to these types of arguments, but have a strong bias against them.

In the end I am looking for a team to convince me why their side should win. I flow and will look at all arguments. While I can deal with speeding, I am not a fan of it. I like to hear and understand what you say.
