Jackson started Stoa when he was in sixth grade. After being dragged to club by his mom for a couple of years, he finally embraced speech and debate and quickly fell in love. After success in Lincoln Douglas debate, Jackson switched to Team Policy his junior year. Over his junior year, Jackson learned what it took to be successful in policy debate and was propelled to success in his senior year, where he and his partner Mark mastered the art of consistency. 

Jackson and Mark broke to finals in seven out of eight tournaments they attended and finished second at NITOC, winning five out of their nine out-rounds on unanimous decisions. 

Jackson specializes in teaching round-vision, 1AR and 1NR strategies, generating negative arguments, and building a powerful debate persona. He charges $25/hr with a 20% discount for Nile subscribers. You can contact Jackson at jearnestcc@gmail.com.
