Hi, I’m Paul Spencer.

My backstory

When I was in my early-30’s I knew that I would ‘do my own thing’ someday. I had no idea what that even meant or what it would entail. Fast forward a couple of years, Mandy and I are moving into a new home with our first newborn and I am ‘doing my own thing’ with my office 60 miles away. That was the beginning of the Spencer Family Story as business owners.

It wasn’t really the beginning though. My great-grandmother, who I was blessed to know, ran a hotel in a small town out west during the 1920s. Her husband, my step great-grandfather was a sheep rancher. I was blessed to know him as well. During that same generation of great-grandparents there were restaurant and grocery store owners. Dad still has an old crank-key cash register used in his grandparent’s grocery story up in Wyoming. This is fascinating to me, maybe not so much for you, but it really means something to me. As an observation of my Family History, they were entrepreneurs and family business owners. Where did all of that family business wisdom go?

I share this because we all have Family Stories. Some are boring, fascinating, scary, or even traumatic. Regardless, we are responsible to form the plot going forward for our grandkids and their grandkids. There is so much wisdom to be shared within our own families and within this community.
