​our coaches

Andy McNeil, Esq.

I had the privilege of graduating from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2001, after which I graduated from Syracuse University College of Law in 2005. I coached several high school mock trial teams in upstate New York and the metro Atlanta area before coming on board to coach the Georgia Tech mock trial team in 2007.  In between my fulfilling and enjoying time with mock trial at my undergraduate alma mater (hopefully mutual for all parties involved), I previously practiced law with King & Spalding and Morris and Manning & Martin LLP, and I currently sit on the Board of Directors with several meaningful non-profit organizations.

​Will Warihay, Esq.

I am a practicing litigation attorney with Hasner Law in Atlanta, where I specialize in representing injured workers in Georgia.  I attended Elon University and Elon University School of Law.  During my time at Elon, I founded and competed for Elon's mock trial team.  I continued to coach Elon during law school, and I worked as an Adjunct Professor for Elon University for two years after graduating from law school. I am also a Director on the Board for the American Mock Trial Association, where I have served as the Chair of the Tournament Administration Committee.  I am also a member of the Executive Committee for AMTA, and I served as President of AMTA from 2018 through 2020.  I was lucky enough to come on as a coach with Georgia Tech in 2014, and I look forward to coaching Georgia Tech for many years to come!
