Favorite Memory of Georgetown Debate: Going 8-0 in prelims at Northwestern my junior year to cement our First Round Bid.

How Debate Has Influenced Him: It taught me to think about policy and politics; it gave me structure in my school and personal life; it introduced me to great friends I keep to this day.

Favorite Debate Argument: I thought the arguments we made on the negative on the Privacy topic that the Congress should be the venue to expand rights instead of the Supreme Court were powerful and I have found that to be true in my career since graduating.
