Hello, welcome to my place cyberspace.  My name is Hoy Max Spencer.  I was born in Paducah, TX., raised in Knox City, TX.  I graduated from Texas Tech University in 1976 with a degree in Soil Science.  During my Tech years, I worked on campus building several facilities.  Upon  my graduation,  I  continued  working in Lubbock building Lubbock Power and Light generating plant on the Slaton highway.  After completion I moved to Arlington where I worked building several bridges, pipe lines, water treatment plants, and a lake dam for Ray Roberts Reservior.   I married Susan Prescott in 1979.  We have 3 kids, Allison, Mark, and Andrea.  Susan is a teacher at Dunn Elementary and she was a major influence upon my career in teaching.  In 1986, I enrolled in UTA's accelerated teacher academy in which I took all 24 hours of necessary education classes in one semester.  That was the best thing I ever done, but I do not recommend anyone taking 24 hours in one semester and trying to be a father and husband.  My teaching career started at Young Jr.High teaching Physical Science.  I taught at Young for 10 years and I came to Martin High School in 1996 when the high school enlarged to a 4 grade high school.  At Martin, I started teaching physics and continue today.  I started coaching golf in 1999 as an assistant golf under Robert Nobles. I became the girl's head golf coach in 2005.  Our physics department is well staffed and energetic  Our golf teams have been very successful also.  I feel everyone should be a student of physics and golf.
