"It was amazing to have the opportunity to see Darrell Hammond perform, he is completely hilarious and a comic genius, but it was even more memorable to get a chance to meet him in person.  It was really great to be able to talk to him about mental health and trauma and to see how much he wants to help other people by sharing his story about living with PTSD. He will be a great speaker with The Parsons Company, Inc. and I am looking forward to hearing more from Darrell Hammond soon."
