Spencer Dean began his career in 1984 working for his Father's structural shotcrete and gunite business, where he also learned swimming pool and water-feature construction from design to completion. Working on dome homes, erosion control, and bridges instilled in him a strong structural understanding of rebar and concrete construction. In the late 80's, Spencer and his father were drawn to more creative projects like amusement parks, commercial water-features, and themed hotel suites all across the continental U.S., as well as the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Spencer has specialized exclusively in naturalistic habitats for zoos, aquariums, and museums, as well as themed environments since 1992, when Jolly Miller gave him his start in the exhibit construction industry. He has been involved in every facet of his profession, from estimating and design, to lead artist and project manager.

Spencer is a respected artist in the themed-environment industry, where he is well-known for accurately depicting geology, trees, plants, sea biologies, life-forms, and architectural facades. He works with a vast array of materials and innovative techniques to achieve the highest level of detail and believability. His careful observation of nature has led to his involvement in many award winning projects around the world.
