In STILL JUST A GEEK, Wil opens up about his life, about falling in love, about coming to grips with his past work, choices, childhood trauma and family, and finding fulfillment in the new phases of his career. From his times on the Enterprise to his struggles with depression to his starting a family and finding his passion, Wil is someone whose life is both a cautionary tale and a story of finding one’s true purpose that will resonate with fans and aspiring artists alike.
