Started working part-time at Bend after his dad insisted that he needed to get off of his ass and get a job. Picking the store in particular was his own little act of a rebellion, since it was a place he knew his stuck-up father would despise.
Spencer is basically a walking stereotype. Star athlete, prom king… he used to have it all! Everyone was sure he was going to get the hell out of Atlantic Landing and do great things. He did go...for a year before flunking out. Apparently being good at hockey could buy his ticket in, but couldn't sustain him. Who knew you actually needed good grades?
Going to school was his only ticket out. With no work ethic to be heard of and no money from his parents, there was next to no chance he'd be able to survive on his own. So, back to Atlantic Landing he went.
Still lives at home, but is trying to save up enough money to get his own place. His rush is only slowed down by the fact that his parents are almost never home, often gone on business trips or vacations Spencer isn’t invited to.
TW: Child abuse mention
Has a complicated relationship with his parents, and his father in particular. The Beckett patriarch has always seen him as a huge disappointment and his failure to do anything grand with his life thus far has only cemented that idea. The three of them should have Oscars with how easily they play the roles of the perfect family on the outside, but it would only take one conversation with their neighbors to know just how much of an act it is. Screaming matches, slamming doors, and Spencer's more than occasional black eyes whenever his parents were home all evidence that there was much more hiding under the surface.
End TW
Spencer obviously hung out with the popular crowd in school, he was pretty much the de facto leader of it. Unfortunately, he was a lackadaisical leader, oblivious to any big problems outside of his own. He wasn't outright cruel for the most part, but he wasn't doing anything to stop the people around him. Getting dumped by all his friends when they left town was a huge hit to his ego, but at least it made him look in the mirror.
He feels really awful about the way he acted growing up, so he does whatever he can to try and make up for it. A little guilt trip goes a long way and it's pretty easy to convince him to do most things within reason.
He really doesn't have the best music taste, but he's trying! Really though, it's probably better to stick him on doing something that doesn't involve him giving music recommendations to customers.
Huge flirt, romantic at heart, but rarely gets past a date or two.
JUST finished having his bisexual crisis, not that he really wants to talk about it, but he's not hiding it either.
Plays on beer league hockey and softball teams and WILL try to convince you to come to a game and/or join the team.
