Richard Spencer


Philadelphia, PA
About

Born in Youngstown, Ohio on January 10, 1972, son of Richard Orie Spencer, Sr., and Linda Mae (Hill) Spencer. Richard O. Spencer, Jr., had a passion for writing at a very young age. Before fine tuning his skills in the craft of writing literary works, he got a start in poetry, songs, and even news articles for some school publications.

Not unlike most young boys, Richard played sports, including baseball, basketball, occasionally soccer, and his first love – football. Though undersized by most people’s standards, football was his passion. Many of the life lessons that Richard learned, were from his love for this sport. Some of them include learning how to respond to adversity, how to deal with rejection, how to handle success, teamwork, as well as many others. It is many of those lessons that create the back drop for his first attempt into the literary foray, “…To The Soul”.
