About The Team

DebateSensei is a the flagship product of Proto Communications LLC, and has taken several years to come into focus. Teaching argumentation and debate to be more challenging than I expected, so I started seeking out alternative methods and content. I wondered if other instructors were experience the same challenges. When I didn’t find what I was looking for I created it. Creating quality content proved to be labor intensive, and I realized why more instructors didn’t do the same. But I wondered if there might be a way to sustainably and constantly create content that could meet the needs of the contemporary Argumentation and Debate instructors. Debatesensei is that attempt. I do this because I believe in the importance of the argumentation and debate.
