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.
