Spring studied marine biology at [Cardiff University](/source/Cardiff_University). Since then he has been involved in a variety of expeditions, many of which are related to his work at Earthwatch. In 2004 he rowed 3,000 miles across the [Atlantic](/source/Atlantic)<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.oceanrowing.com/Press/archive/Stableforth_Spring.htm|title=Press Articles}}</ref> and has also raced 550&nbsp;km across [Costa Rica](/source/Costa_Rica) by bike, kayak and on foot.

Most recently, Spring was part of a three-man research expedition to [Greenland](/source/Greenland) in 2009.  In addition to climbing and exploring the area the team collected plants, contributing to a botanical inventory in East Greenland which was initiated in the 1960s [http://www.oceanrowing.com/Press/archive/Stableforth_Spring.htm]. Several new peaks were recorded, one of which was named after Spring's paternal grandfather, [Kenneth Spring](/source/Kenneth_Spring).

Spring lives in [Oxfordshire](/source/Oxfordshire), [England](/source/England).
