I am Spencer and I love mathematics, languages, anatomy, medical biology (an absolute favorite), horses, alpine skiing, hockey, soccer, reading, my school and my schoolmates, having fun with my friends, and older siblings.
I am a classical pianist, who enjoys playing challenging music, and to date have accomplished the following:

- I am presently continuing my piano studies under the direction of my teacher, Mr. Dimitri Kubyshkin (You Tube "Kubynya") and under the "watchful eye" of my mom.
- I consider myself to be very fortunate having been given the opportunity by Steinway Pianos to play such remarkable instruments as Steinway CD503, and CD423, as well as Steinway "Kuniisii" and host of others.
