As a Lead Advisor at BSW Wealth Partners, I work primarily with local business owners, entrepreneurs, and their families. Being a business owner myself, I am drawn to the unique complexities and planning required to craft comprehensive financial plans for my clients. 

I’ve worked with families through significant life transitions; including divorce, death of loved ones, business start-ups and exits, partner buyouts, structuring key employee compensation plans, and navigating financial events such as inheritance, private stock sales, and IPO’s.

I believe a life successfully lived is best measured by how closely a family adheres to what they value most. Part of my responsibility is to help families make informed decisions with their money. I take even greater pleasure in finding ways that families can live more in alignment with their values, with financial planning serving as one tool to help facilitate this.

The intersection of money and major life decisions can trigger powerful emotions that may cloud judgment. I seek to help families evaluate important decisions from multiple viewpoints, distinguish between objective and emotion-based considerations, and continuously align decisions with the family’s values and goals.

Values and goal setting have been an important part of my own life. When making decisions from a place lacking in true values and goals, I’ve gone on to make mistakes such as becoming an investment banker (something I wouldn’t wish upon anyone) and finding myself stranded in the middle of the desert in Morocco. And when driven by my core values and goals, I’ve gone on to graduate with Distinction from the University of Colorado, I’ve earned both the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and BEHAVIORAL FINANCIAL ADVISOR™ designations, I’ve worked hard to become a Division I NCAA Champion at the University of Colorado and have started a craft-brewery in Spain.

Outside of my work at BSW, I run an organization designed to help people with autoimmune ailments, I ski in the backcountry, and I do what I value most: spend time with family.

Tami finds deep fulfillment in helping clients plan for financial independence post-death or post-divorce and providing clarity around the financial future.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had the desire to help people. Whether volunteering at a homeless shelter or donating a few of my precious dollars in my youth, I learned the value and impact my time, talents, and treasures can have on others.

Fast forward to today, I am blessed to be a part of something special at BSW Wealth Partners where my beliefs are in alignment with the company’s goal to “Make Life Better.” I graduated from the Gies College of Business at the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana and have over 12 years of experience in the personal finance industry. My role as the Financial Planning Specialist at BSW is to support clients through detailed planning analysis and subject matter expertise.

I live just outside of Chicago with my wife and three children. Outside of work, we love spending time outdoors (even in the Midwest’s extreme summers/winters) and visiting the city’s museums. I continue to volunteer in my spare time and look forward to the journey ahead.

I am a managing principal of BSW Wealth Partners and Strategic Advisor for the firm’s clients.  In these roles, my priorities are simple:

• The long-term success of BSW clients.
• The long-term success of BSW Wealth Partners.

On the former, I’ve been told that my ability to see the bigger picture sets me apart from many advisors.  Although I have a background that includes investment management and former member of BSW’s Investment Policy Committee, these important roles are not where I add the most value.

Financial security.  Investment evaluation and coordination.  Transition planning and coordination. Tax strategy.  Wealth transfer. Coordination of strategies with other professionals.  These issues bring a broader scope, the opportunity to influence results, and stand to benefit the most from strategic planning.  I love this stuff. And I love our clients. We are in a “people” business and the people we represent are unique, fun, interesting, and real.  It is truly a pleasure to help them.

On the latter, the ability for BSW to remain independent and thrive over the long term will allow for a long standing, potentially multi-generational relationship with our clients.  To do this, we will need to slowly transition ownership of the firm and grow at a pace that supports this process. The alternative is to sell the firm at some point to a third party, and we don’t believe that is in the best interest of BSW clients or our staff.  I spend a lot of time thinking about this process and ways to achieve these goals.

Prior to joining BSW in 1997, I worked on the equity trading desk at Schwab Institutional. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and earned a BA in Economics from the University of Richmond.

Outside of the office, things I love:

• Powder skiing or cooking with my wife Lucy.
• Surfing, swimming, or skiing with my daughters Carson and Jesse.
• Or just being with any or all of these three amazing gals.

Aside from my family, I love big country and open spaces.  The smell of a field on a summer evening. And last but certainly not least, chasing most anything that swims with fur, feathers, and a fly rod.

Coming Soon. . .

I was very fortunate to grow up both with privilege, and by virtue of the location of my first childhood home - adjacent to the notorious Cabrini-Green Chicago public housing projects – exposure to the wealth gap in America.  Ever since, I’ve been dedicated to the idea that money can be transformational – if allocated thoughtfully.

I am an Advisor at BSW Wealth Partners, the firm’s Director of Values-Alignment, and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional.

Driven to lead a life of cheerful service, I work primarily with intergenerational families, impact-oriented Non-Profits and mission-driven company 401k’s, with a specific focus on aligning financial plans – and investment portfolios – with what the client deems to be most important.

As the firm’s Director of Values-Alignment, I strive to continuously improve the outcomes for all stakeholders; leading BSW’s B Corp and Public Benefic Corporation (PBC) initiatives.  Additionally, I have the responsibility for continuously improving BSW’s Values-Aligned investing methodology.

I’ve been employed by Registered Investment Advisors (RIA’s) since graduating college; prior to joining BSW,  I worked for nearly a decade at a multi-billion dollar investment management & wealth advisory services firm in Boulder, while spending many nights and weekends leading the Corporate Social Responsibility efforts for a local B Corp “buy one, give one” consumer packaged goods company.

Volunteering since the 1990’s, I target giving 100 hours per year (1% of my time) to community service.  My most recent contributions include co-founding the non-profit B Local Colorado, serving as a founding Advisor to the B Local Communities, and providing pro-bono financial planning services via commitments to Advisers Give Back and the After Innocence Project.  I consider being generous with my time – and resources – my duty to society, with my personal philanthropic strategy centered around my individual commitment to 1% For the Planet.

Away from my professional and community engagements, you can find me outside “throwing myself” at my latest sport climbing project here in Colorado, improving the energy & resource efficiency of my home, championing conscious consumerism, reading, and spending meaningful time with family and friends.

As a Data Specialist, my primary role is to ensure the utmost accuracy in processing and presenting our clients' data. My work involves navigating our data systems to establish clean, reliable, and timely data. It's my goal and responsibility to provide our clients with precise reports and numbers, helping to alleviate their financial stress. This allows them to concentrate on growing their wealth and personal development, ultimately enhancing their quality of life. I am proud to be a first-generation American with Lebanese heritage. Growing up in a multicultural environment ignited my passion for travel and exploring diverse cultures, particularly through their cuisines. My top travel destinations for the best culinary experiences are Lebanon, Spain, and England. I recently graduated from The University of Colorado Boulder, where I majored in Finance. In my final year, I discovered a passion for data and shifted my focus to Information Management. In my leisure time, I enjoy discovering new spots to set up my hammock, engaging in word games, and spending quality time with friends. At the office, I've informally assumed the role of Office DJ, known for constantly playing music and curating various playlists to enhance our work environment.

Julie is a managing principal of BSW Wealth Partners and Strategic Advisor for the firm’s clients. As an Advisor, Julie is an innovator in removing the obstacles people face when planning for the future. For over 20 years, she has assisted clients with transitions such as retirement/work-life reinvention, business transition, divorce, death of a loved one, financial windfall, and inheritance. Julie has experience in cash-flow analysis, business owner planning strategies, next-generation education, legacy, and estate planning, and incorporating real estate, businesses, and mineral interest holdings into a financial plan.

Julie began her career while still in grade school, helping her real estate broker mother with filing, organizing and showing property. Her mother treated every client as if he or she were a member of her own family. She was proud to have generations of families seek her advice on real estate matters and maintains many of those relationships into her own retirement. This early mentoring instilled a fundamental business belief in Julie: treat every client as if he/she were your family member and as if the relationship will last for generations.

Julie graduated with honors from Colorado State University and earned her CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification. From 2009-2016, she had extensive training through the Sudden Money Institute’s Mastery Program where she specialized in managing major financial transitions due to the sale of a business, divorce, inheritance and other life-changing events.  Prior to joining BSW Wealth Partners in 2015, Julie was co-owner of a financial planning firm. She is a past President of the West River Estate and Financial Planning Council and serves on the executive committee for several scholarships supporting women and girls in educational pursuits.

As Client Service Manager for BSW Wealth Partners, my primary role is to facilitate a smooth, efficient, and pleasant client experience.  This includes managing workflows for new accounts, executing cashiering requests, and being the primary conduit by which clients communicate needs to their advisors and portfolio managers.

Prior to BSW, I worked for more than seven years at The Northwestern Mutual Financial Network, in Boulder, as an Associate Financial Representative.  My early career path included work in the insurance, investment, and legal fields. I have a paralegal certificate from the Denver Paralegal Institute.

My husband Mark and I recently made a lifetime dream come true and moved to Maui.  In my free time, I enjoy swimming in the ocean, kayaking, learning how to use my new SUP, golfing, playing tennis and exploring our new island home.

Most of all, I enjoy spending time with Mark and our daughters Ashley, and her partner Hugo, and Amie and her husband Erik.

With over two decades' experience in the asset management industry, I often think to myself how did I get here?  It was a passion for excellence, a thirst for knowledge, a desire to be impactful, and a contagious love of life that led me down a path to BSW.  As the Chief Compliance Officer, I oversee the firm’s compliance and risk management program. Having been in the industry prior to Dodd-Frank, I’ve grown professionally alongside the expansion of compliance as not just a “dust on the shelf manual”, but an industry itself.  It is my belief that a strong compliance regime brings inherent value to an advisor and its clients.

When not in the office, I love experiencing life with my husband and three children, often through travel and seeking sand for our toes and an ocean breeze to calm our minds.  I’m also the eternal hostess, enjoy cooking with my daughters, skiing, boating, practicing yoga, attending pure barre, and trying to keep up with my son in all things sports.

Originally from Lindsborg, KS, I’ve always appreciated the charm of small-town life. At the same time, I’ve fallen in love with the Colorado lifestyle and the endless adventures it offers. Outside of work, you’ll find me, my wife, and our two little adventurers hiking, camping, and exploring the mountains.

The decade I spent living in DC combined with my educational background in Women’s Studies, Music and International Affairs has shaped who I am, including my approach to wealth management. I believe in taking a creative approach to help individuals and families achieve their personal and financial goals. This may include sustainable investment strategies, philanthropic goals or generational wealth transfers. What is important to me is building long-lasting relationships based on mutual trust and respect. It is my goal, as an advisor, to help you develop a sense of financial confidence and security.

I began my career in wealth management in 2013 and have worked at several large firms before making the transition to BSW. My decision to join BSW was driven by my desire to work with like-minded, impact-oriented individuals who have come together under a common goal: to make life better for clients, employees and the community.  Throughout my career, I have always been a leader in my firm’s women’s networks. Advancing women and minorities in an industry where they are underrepresented is critical. So when I found BSW, a female-founded firm, I was thrilled.

I graduated from The George Washington University with a major in International Affairs and Women’s Studies and a minor in Music.  In 2020, I became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™. Originally from Connecticut, my love of the great outdoors has brought me to Colorado. Outside of the office, I spend my time running, hiking, biking, reading or playing the violin. I also very much value my time with my family and two orange cats.

As Director of Investments at BSW, I provide strategic leadership to the Investment Group and assist in the development and management of BSW’s comprehensive investment offerings.

My interest in financial markets was inspired by my father, who worked as a financial advisor and frequently illustrated the interconnectedness of all aspects of our economy. Growing up I also became deeply aware of social inequalities which sparked my curiosity about solutions to build a more equitable and inclusive economy that benefits and respects all participants.

My career began at Goldman Sachs, where I learned that virtually anything could be financially engineered while working with equity derivatives and structured products. The Great Financial Crisis, however, shifted my perspective and ignited a desire to leverage the power of financial markets for societal benefit. This drive led me to join the Louisiana Department of Economic Development, where I focused on allocating limited resources to create meaningful impact within the state. Seeking to expand my work to an international stage, I joined the Aspen Institute in Washington, DC, where I developed early-stage investment ecosystems across the Middle East and North Africa.

Over a decade ago, I combined my interest in finance with my passion for sustainability at Calvert Impact Capital, helping institutional and retail investors structure investments in mission-driven organizations. Most recently, I built and managed investment portfolios, many with an impact and sustainability focus, for institutions and family offices at Cambridge Associates. I’m particularly passionate about creating bespoke investment solutions that not only meet client needs but also support innovative technologies and structures advancing a more equitable world.

Outside of work, I enjoy embarking on adventures and finding creative outlets with my two children. Since recently moving to Boulder, my family has loved exploring Colorado’s hiking trails, ski slopes, and stunning scenery. I also enjoy cooking, practicing yoga, and traveling with my family whenever possible.

Debi Baydush is the founding principal of BSW Wealth Partners. Debi served as the BSW chief investment officer for more than 17 years, guiding the firm’s investment policy, portfolio construction, and major strategic efforts.

Debi started her financial career with a large private trust company, trained as a broker at Merrill Lynch and subsequently went to work at PaineWebber. Over time, Debi found that what she felt was best for her clients often differed from the company’s view, so she quit the brokerage business to manage a group of personal investment portfolios on a fee-only basis – and so the foundation stone for what has become BSW Wealth Partners was laid. As the client base grew, Debi hired people who shared her vision of how to provide investment advice – and who were fun to work with!

January 1, 2013 marked her transition to an “Of Counsel” role within BSW. Debi successfully (beyond what even she could imagine) executed on her plan to create a fee-only wealth management firm to care for a small group of interesting and fun families. The intellectual stimulation and personal challenge involved in this enterprise was certainly bigger than anticipated, but entirely welcome. The next step in the plan was then to move from satisfying the head to nurturing the spirit: seeing and experiencing more of the world we live in and processing all the lessons thrown in her path along the way. Another big plan! Hopefully it will result in a level of reward and satisfaction at least equal to that of the first plan.

A San Francisco Bay Area native, I transplanted to Boulder in 2002 for undergrad at CU Boulder. Upon graduating with a dual degree in Psychology and Spanish I followed my folly and love for the mountains to Telluride, CO. Living and working in Telluride serendipitously lead me to the non-profit sector and my first career path. While in Telluride, and then back in Boulder, I worked for two primary organizations across many roles (as non-profit jobs tend to be), including business administration, marketing, and fundraising. From 2015 – 2017 I participated in the CU Leeds School of Business MBA program. My interest in psychology and behavior, combined with a love for numbers, ignited a career shift into the field of financial planning. The shift was also driven by personal events that highlighted the importance of financial education, empowerment, and organization. As a financial advisor my goal is to pass these tools and services down to clients, helping ease the stress and burden that many feel as they navigate financial priorities, decision-making, or events such as death or divorce. On the weekends and after the workday I try my best to get into nature by bike, ski, or foot, and see as much live music as possible. My husband and I are committed to an active lifestyle full of adventure, which often means dragging our young children and my teenage stepson along for the camping trip, road trip, or day in the mountains. We’re all generally happiest when covered in sunscreen and dirt, away from cell phone reception. When not exploring you can find us at home in Lafayette spending time with my local in-laws, sister, niece, and friends.
