A Calgary native, Spencer grew up in the church there with his family, even attending local Ambrose University for his Bachelor's of Theology in Intercultural Ministry from 2018 - 2023. After first experiencing the call to ministry as a teenager on a missions trip to Tijuana, Mexico, Spencer decided to pursue this by going to Ambrose. With a heart for serving the church interculturally he also found himself volunteering at a small parish on the Tsuut'ina First Nation just southwest of Calgary. Spencer spent three and a half years on the Nation serving in multiple capacities and growing closer to our Indigenous neighbours. 

Spencer and his wife Reanne first met at a summer camp in 2018 where they became friends. However it wasn't until 2020 when Reanne was releasing a new music project and saw the opportunity of free photos from Spencer that their relationship started to really grow. Spencer and Reanne got married in the summer of 2022 and lived in Cochrane for a year before following the call to Medicine Hat and Southview Community Church.

Spencer also runs his own photography business as of 2019 and does a variety of work for weddings, corporate events, and brands. Some of his favourite hobbies include watching movies, playing board games, mountain biking and playing golf.
