Philip Simondet
Valedictorian
Since speaking as Valedictorian at his High School commencement, Philip Simondet has spent a couple of decades converting his once limitless potential into opportunities missed. Luckily, he got this show written before there was no potential left.
He's an improviser, musician, podcaster, teacher, and writer... and still doesn't like himself.
