Hello, I am Dr. Spangler; I figured I have lived in Texas for about 55 years; I am currently 62. My interests are backpacking, woodworking, hiking and cycling.

Little-known fact I am a trained chef and have worked in the industry multiple years as well as done independent catering gigs on the side as well. The main reason I did not stay in the industry is that it is very difficult to raise a family, have a stable family life, and be successful chef. I felt like teaching was a better career to have while raising a family. 

Speaking of my family, I am married and have three kids one who graduated from University of North Texas; One who graduated from UT-Dallas; and another who is a ranch hand at a therapy horse farm.

I have a master’s in political science and my doctorate is in educational leadership. I did my Dissertation on the topic of community college success rates in Texas. It was a relevant subject in that it allowed me to see what factors are at play when community college students either achieve success or not.
