    Tyler Bowman, CM&AA & CEPA Serving Douglas County, CO

    I have spent the last 5+ years helping entrepreneurs buy and sell business under $20M in enterprise value. Prior to joining Transworld Business Advisors, I worked in several family-owned businesses allowing me to understand the unique joys and challenges facing entrepreneurs every day. During this time, I realized there was a need for investment banking level services for M&A in the lower middle market and decided to become a business broker.  Along with my credentials as a CM&AA and CEPA, I also have a BA in Business Finance and am fluent in Spanish, having lived in Spain for over a decade. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our dog Aspen, road & mountain biking, playing soccer, skiing and traveling.

    Nathan Willis, Partner Serving Denver County, CO

    Before transitioning into business brokerage and M&A, I spent over a decade as the owner and operator of three health clubs in the Denver Metro Area, two of which I launched from the ground up, and one I acquired. Managing dozens of employees and contractors, overseeing complex leases and build-outs, and navigating a wide range of operational challenges taught me invaluable lessons along the way. In 2017, I was ready for a new chapter and engaged Transworld Business Advisors of Colorado to help facilitate the sale of my business. Following the successful transaction, I joined the Transworld team as a business broker, a role that felt like a natural progression. In 2022, I became an equity Partner in our Colorado office. If you're considering selling your business, I’d be happy to explore its value and what a tailored exit strategy could look like. Our team has guided hundreds of business owners through the process of valuation, preparation, and sale with clarity and confidence. As the leading business brokerage firm in Colorado, we have achieved remarkable milestones, including being featured on the Inc. 5000 List five times—an accomplishment attained by only 4% of companies and featured on Financial Times Fastest Growing list.

    Being involved in business has always been a passion of mine. I began working at the age of 15 for many of my family's small businesses and have been apart of and helped grow many other small businesses. Shortly after graduating from Colorado State University with a business and economics degree I started my own small business. I joined Transworld Business Advisors of Colorado in order to work with and learn from other small business owners while helping them through situations I can relate to.

    Ross Haymes, MBA, CBI Serving Denver County, CO

    I draw on decades worth of experience in corporate finance and entrepreneurship to guide buyers and sellers in the direction of their goals. During my 20-year career with NYSE-listed Burlington Industries, I served as an economist before becoming Investor Relations Director. In that role I dealt with Wall Street analysts and money managers daily. After a hostile takeover, I decided to take control of my own destiny and become a small business owner. Acquiring and running my own business has given me a hands-on understanding of the challenges that face the small business owner. In my current role at Transworld, I draw on my experience in finance and as a small business owner as I work directly with entrepreneurs to guide them, step-by- step, through the buying, growing, and selling of their companies. I have worked as a Business Broker with Transworld Business Advisors of Colorado since 2014. Our office has been the top performing office out of 300+ Transworld system offices for each year since 2016 and in 2021 we completed the greatest number of transactions of any IBBA member firm worldwide. We offer services throughout Colorado, New Mexico & Wyoming and are currently the #1 business brokerage firm in the Rocky Mountain region. Since 2013, our team has completed over $200 million in transactions, worked directly with over 1,500 business owners, was involved with 800+ deals, and gave over 10,000 entrepreneurs guidance about buying and selling businesses. An avid “Colorado enthusiast,” I enjoy cycling, hiking, ski racing and volunteering as a racecourse worker for World Cup events.

    John Woodhull Serving Jefferson County, CO

    My work experience began in finance related positions with large corporate enterprises in telecommunications, money management, and defense contracting industries. In 2005, I took the long awaited opportunity to establish my own small business, which I sold with Transworld in 2017. Having run my own business for 12 years, I understand the rewards and challenges involved in business ownership and development. At Transworld, I help small business sellers realize their return on investment and helps match buyers with great companies.
