Coaching & mentorship

America's Debate Coach.

I'll teach your kid — or you — to argue. To clash without cruelty, check a claim before repeating it, win on the merits, and lose with grace. One-on-one or small group, remote from anywhere or in the 517. No suits, no gatekeeping — come as you are. My time isn't free, and it's worth it.

Anyone can yell. I teach people to win the argument — and shake the hand after.

What I coach

Competitive debate

Cross-examination / Policy, Lincoln-Douglas, Public Forum — the real formats, the flow, the clash. Novice to varsity.

Speech & forensics

Public speaking, extemp, the nerve to stand up and be clear under a clock.

Arguing well for life

The Fallacy Wing, applied: spot the foul, steelman the other side, change your mind on purpose. For students, parents, professionals.

Interview & presence

Say the true thing, plainly, when it counts — the job, the room, the moment.

Already did the work? Skip the small talk.

Don't cold-email me a "hey, interested." Show me your prep. Read a little, run the solo drill, then hit the button — it writes the email for you, with what you've done here baked in. I'll know you're serious before I open it. Proof of work, in the light.

Where the house stands. "America's Debate Coach" is the brand — a title you earn by doing the work, not one anyone handed over; receipts to come. No invented record, win-loss, or credentials — those, the rates, the deposit, and the booking link are the coach's to set in his own hand. The free stuff here stays free; coaching is the paid tier — monetize last. The one rule holds: no lying. Sister rooms: Why We Need Debate Brought Back, The People's Debate, Speaking.
