After graduating in 1994, Dr. Spicer traveled to Europe, where he played football for the Nurnberg Rams for one season in Nurnberg, Germany. However, while a student at APSU, he built the foundations of his future career as a physician, majoring in biology with a minor in chemistry.

Following his education, the doctor became board-certified in physical medicine & rehabilitation by the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (ABPMR).
