Spencer was born in Eugene, OR, but his family moved to Roseburg when he was 1. He spent his formative years in Roseburg, camping, playing sports, and playing in the river with friends and his younger brother.

After high school, Spencer spent a year in Bend, working at Mt. Bachelor and snowboarding as much as possible before returning to Eugene to attend the University of Oregon. In 2005, with a Bachelor’s of Architecture degree in hand, he returned to Bend with his soon to be wife, Emily, to start their careers. He was lucky enough to be hired by Steve Van Sant and started working for Pacwest as a drafter and is now a licensed architect in the state of Oregon.

When not working, Spencer enjoys camping, Mt. Biking, snowboarding, and hiking with his wife, two kids, and their dog. He is also passionate about homebrewing beer, which he has been doing since he was 15 years old.
