Biography

I was born in Washington state and have moved around for most of my life due to growing up in the Air Force. My family finally settled in Topeka, KS where I finished my initial schooling (5th - 12th grade). I graduated from Topeka High School in 2016 and after a rough year or so, I took some college, majoring in criminal justice at Rasmussen College. During my high school years I got into Yu-Gi-Oh and debating thanks to a very good friend of mine who passed away in July of 2018. I got married one month prior to his passing on June 6th 2018. I'm an aspiring Linguist and a Konami judge (if you don't know what either of those mean, feel free to message me and I will explain them the best I can). Lately, I've been trying to finish my study of the French language and I have opened up a business with my father. Our business is Powell Lazer tag. If there is anything else you would like to know, feel free to message me and I will respond as soon as I can.

Debate Background

I started debating my Freshman year of high school with my late friend as a pass time. He introduced me to DDO, which I happily signed up on and participated in debates for 5 years. In those 5 years, I have participated in 47 debates, winning 20 of them, losing 15 and tying 12. My win/loss ration on DDO currently sits at 57.14% and it may not change at the rate the site is going. I've also created an account on debateisland.com where I have participated in a few debates and have achieved the rank of 2. I have now joined this site to further explore the field of debating in order to continue this hobby.

I tried debateart. It's not a good site for debating.
