In European competition, he has made it to the Semi-Finals of the Strathclyde Tournament in Scotland, outperforming past Finalists of the World Universities Debating Championships. As a Public Speaker, Jason has also made it to the Semi-Finals of The World Universities Debate Championships Public Speaking Competition (Oxford '93) and won the prestigious Harvard University Public Speaking Championships (1995).
