Vedesh Kodnani competed at Mission San Jose High School where he acquired 16 bids and qualified to the Gold TOC every year since he was a freshman. Most notably, Vedesh has championed Stanford, Columbia twice, and La Costa Canyon in addition to reaching finals at Berkeley, Cypress Bay, and Peninsula. He has experience across a range of styles but particularly enjoys more narrative and weighing-heavy debates. With experience serving as president of the Mission San Jose team and coaching several debaters across the national circuit in his senior year, Vedesh is excited to instruct at NSD.
