Aiden Spenner

Aiden is a senior and the photographer for the Stampede. This is his second year on staff. If you don’t find him trying to farm dubs or chilling with friends, which is a majority of the time, you will usually see him doing schoolwork, being with his family, or listening to music. He enjoys watching videos about and messing with technology, and exploring the ever changing world around him through means of travel. When outside the newsroom, Aiden is probably buying more gaming accessories he doesn’t need.
