I am a volunteer parent (lay) judge and parent supporter of Homestead High School. Professionally, I am a Vice President at a large public technology company and I specialize in Software Architecture.

I have judged at middle-school and high school speech & debate tournaments, primarily in World Schools, PF and LD.

During your round I do my best to flow, and I evaluate the results based on believability of claims, your chain of reasoning, and your rebuttals. In the end I will do my own weighing but I really want to hear yours - please don't forget that! I notice when points are dropped, and I notice when frameworks are set and/or ignored.
