Bryan Sudweeks has loved teaching the students in the BYU Marriott finance program. From his time as an undergraduate student in BYU's Mandarin Chinese program, Sudweeks knew that he wanted to teach at BYU, but he also recognized the value of gaining professional experience first. After completing his undergraduate degree in 1980, Sudweeks received his MBA from BYU Marriott in 1982 and then pursued his PhD from George Washington University.

Sudweeks completed a successful career in the asset-management field. He was a partner and senior portfolio manager over Emerging Market products at Montgomery Asset Management in San Francisco, California. Sudweeks and his partner opened the first no-load open-ended mutual fund for emerging markets. He retired from that career at the age of forty-five and came back to BYU Marriott to join the finance department faculty.

Sudweeks is proud of the personal finance course he helped create on the BYU website (personalfinance.byu.edu), available for everyone to use, not just BYU students. "I tell people if you follow what I teach, I'll save you $1 million over the course of your life," says Sudweeks. When his students are planning their personal finances, Sudweeks encourages them to not only think about their life vision, goals, plans, and strategies, but also how they want to give back in the future. He believes individuals should set aside money for personal giving whether that be through service projects, gifts, or tithing.
