Team Incentive Level

Incentive level: Team Tent Set Up at the Step Up Walk

Welcome to the Smilin’ Spence Page!

Spencer just started his junior year (gulp!) at Shawnee Mission East and continues to make lots of friends.

Spencer still loves all things sports. He’d be happy to tell you the mascots of all college teams and the quarterbacks of most NFL teams. He could probably tell you where those pro quarterbacks went to college. But his favorite team will always be the Kansas City Chiefs.

He also loves listening to music, playing flip cup or trick shot and anything Minecraft.
