Spencer Bromberg, J.D.
Spencer
Bromberg, J.D. is CEO at ValueIdeas, LLC. He is also
a Texas lawyer, economist, research scientist, and Internet
entrepreneur.
Grandson of an engineer and son of lawyer, Spencer came from an extended
social network dedicated to people, culture, food, fashion, and the
arts. He is an international sojourner with friends and family across
the globe. He has studied overseas and has extensive experience in
comparative studies. But to know this, you do not know his
purpose.
His purpose came after a period of self-exploration and discovery. The
spiritual journey began with the death of his grandfather, Gwap Gwap Ed.
Named by Spencer’s youthful and phonetically deficient tongue; the name
persisted until his death. Gwap Gwap Ed, later shortened to Gwap, served
as an inspirational role model, stoic mentor, and loving friend.
Spencer’s earliest memories were of his work together in Gwap’s wood and
metal-working shop in his central Dallas home. Spencer was on a lathe by
three, and they rebuilt Spencer’s first car on his fifteenth birthday (a
1965 Ford Mustang Convertible, candy-apple red with a white convertible
top).
The memories continued and his family’s journeys took them across the
globe, from continent to continent. They explored all that the world had
to offer, from the quaint towns of Iceland to the steps of Rocomodor and
even into Nelson Mandela’s home in Soweto. On Gwap’s eighty-eighth
birthday, as a tribute, Spencer surprised him with 1926 Model T Ford,
the first car that he rebuilt for Spencer’s father. As a young lawyer
and a new father, Spencer spent the time that he had with Gwap
dismantling the car piece-by-piece, ordering the necessary parts to
carefully rebuild the car to completion. Gwap passed away before they
finished. Spencer completed the car, but with knowledge that he should
have taken advantage of the time that he had.
Spencer left his real estate practice a number of years ago, after
satisfying
family tradition, to pursue an idea. Over the following years, his
research examined the historical interaction between law, economics, and
technology. His research gave him a preemptive, and quite depressing,
view
of the now current economic climate. Moreover, through his research, he
saw there were few events to change the trend, which highlighted
disturbing consequences for individual freedom, our nation, and the
world. Fortunately, unexpected events interrupted his work.
In this moment, he saw what many others had known and been expressing
for
years. And with this knowledge, he tried to express himself in the ways
that he knew law, economics, and technology. A new economic theory
emerged; a unified model. In this “eureka” moment, he saw a way to
unify
centuries of economic thought and legal philosophy. But that was not
enough. The scientist in him wanted to prove the theory. Upon
examination, he found that the new theory illuminated a profoundly
simple
technological solution. The plan, although simple in concept, raises
many legal and organizational complexities. But if successfully
implemented, it will enable individual empowerment in this age of ideas.
Spencer earned his B.A. in Economics at the
University of Colorado at Boulder in 2000.
He studied Legal Theory, International Sale of Goods at
University College, University of Oxford in 2003. He studied
International Economics and Trade, Antitrust Law, International
Securitzation, International Finance at Beijing Foreign Studies
University in 2004.
He earned his J.D. (cum
laude) at Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law in 2006.
