Spangle was a life-long Republican before joining the Libertarian Party in 2008. He was raised in Plainfield, Indiana, and graduated from Plainfield High School in 2002. He attended IUPUI, where he was the College Republicans President during the 2004 elections. It was there he worked on Andy Horning’s 2004 Congressional Campaign. Horning inspired Spangle to research the libertarian philosophy. He then went on to work at Newstalk 1430 AM, WXNT for 5 years as a producer and reporter. For the last year of his time there, he was the producer of Abdul in the Morning, the premier political talk show in Indianapolis. It was here that he witnessed first-hand how broken our two party system is, and decided to work to grow the Libertarian Party of Indiana and to affect social and political change in a libertarian direction. He began running the day-to-day operations of the LPIN in October of 2008.
