Form 144 and Schedule 13D and Schedule 13G
The undersigned hereby constitutes and appoints Nathan Kroeker, Georganne Hodges and Gil

undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:
Execute for and on behalf of the undersigned a Form ID (including amendments thereto), or any

Securities and Exchange Commission of the forms referenced in clause (2) below;
Execute for and on behalf of the undersigned any (a) Form 3, Form 4 and Form 5 (including

as amended (the "Exchange Act"), (b) Form 144 (including amendments thereto) and
(c) Schedule 13D and Schedule 13G (including amendments thereto) in accordance with
Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Exchange Act, but only to the extent each form or schedule
relates to the undersigned's beneficial ownership of securities of Spark Energy, Inc. or any of its
subsidiaries;
Do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned that may be necessary or
desirable to complete and execute any Form ID, Form 3, Form 4, Form 5, Form 144, Schedule
13D or Schedule 13G (including amendments thereto) and timely file the forms or schedules
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or quotation system, self-

Take any other action in connection with the foregoing that, in the opinion of the attorney-in-
fact, may be of benefit to, in the best interest of or legally required of the undersigned, it being
understood that the documents executed by the attorney-in-fact on behalf of the undersigned
pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in the form and shall contain the terms and conditions
as the attorney-in-fact may approve in the attorney-in-fact's discretion.
The undersigned hereby grants to the attorney-in-fact full power and authority to do and perform
all and every act requisite, necessary or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and
powers granted herein, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or could do if

(including amendments thereto) with respect to the undersigned's holdings of and transactions in
securities issued by Spark Energy, Inc., unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed
writing delivered to the attorney-in-fact.  This Power of Attorney does not revoke any other
