Dylan Myerson becomes President of BSB Leasing. Don Myerson becomes CEO
On September 25, 2026, Dylan Myerson became President of BSB Leasing, the Littleton, Colorado equipment finance company his father, Don Myerson, founded in 1982. Dylan now leads BSB’s day-to-day operations and its direction going forward. Don, who led the company as President from its founding, is now CEO and remains active in the business. He works with Dylan on the company’s direction, leads BSB’s funding-source relationships, and continues to welcome new broker partners.
“I’m not going anywhere,” Don said.
​
Fired on a Friday
BSB started with a setback. In 1981, Don was selling copiers, typewriters and calculators in Denver when he lost his job on a Friday. It wasn’t a new experience. “I had a habit of getting fired from every job I ever had,” he said. “On Monday, I was in business,” he said. He called the company Business Systems Brokers.
He had just closed on his first house and had $2,000 left. A Denver leasing company showed him three storage lockers full of repossessed office equipment and asked how much money he had. He said $2,000. The answer was “Sold.” He borrowed money from his mother to rent a truck and filled his garage.
Selling that inventory taught him something. When a Florida leasing company offered to pay him $300 for every $3,000 copier he placed on a lease, he found the financing paid better than the selling, with no warranty and no service calls. “It was just a check I cashed, and I was on to the next transaction,” he said. Soon he sold the last machine in the garage. In 1982, BSB Leasing was born, named for the initials of the company that started it.

Doing it right
For its first decade, BSB was a small lease broker serving the Denver area. That changed in the 1990s, when Colonial Pacific Leasing, which Don describes as the leading small-ticket funder working through brokers at the time, asked BSB to become one of its regional service centers. Brokers across the western United States who wanted Colonial Pacific’s programs now had to go through a small company in Colorado, and many of them weren’t happy about it. BSB went from writing two or three leases a week to two or three an hour, and it had to earn those brokers’ trust quickly. That is when Don set the standard the company still runs on.
“It was important for me to create credibility,” he said. “To me, it just means doing everything right. You treat people the way you want to be treated. You’re honest with people. You give them a fair product at a fair price.”
The standard applies to brokers and funding sources alike. “We might not be the most aggressive company,” Don said, “but we are always going to treat our customers and our stakeholders fair.” Some brokers have worked with BSB since 1998.
"To me, it just means doing everything right."

“No skills in equipment finance whatsoever”
Dylan came to BSB nearly a decade ago, out of college with a seminary degree and no background in finance. He asked his father for a job. Don said no, twice. As Dylan remembers it, the answer was: “There is no way I’d be able to justify hiring you. You have no skills in equipment finance whatsoever.” Don’s verdict on that memory: “I think that was almost a quote.”
So Dylan made an offer. If he built BSB a better website, could he have a job? Still no, but BSB would pay for the website. Dylan built it, then turned to the company’s recently migrated Salesforce system, which no one had the time or background to own, and fixed that too. Keeping it running became his first job. From there he took on marketing, learned the deals, and went on to expand what BSB gives brokers beyond funding: back-office support from submission to funding, mentorship through the Learn-to-Earn program, and market insight through The Leasing Briefing.
“You actually earned your way into BSB Leasing,” Don said.
The leading edge and the trailing edge
Asked why he chose Dylan, Don described two kinds of companies. Some are on the leading edge of technology and gain an advantage, but often lose the personal side of the business. Others stay on the trailing edge: slower to adopt new tools, but still picking up the phone.
“You’re the leading edge,” Don told Dylan. “At the same time, I’m still kicking, and I bring the trailing edge. It’s not all bad. It doesn’t all need to be replaced. You combine those two, and I think you could have a powerhouse company.”
What changes, and what doesn’t
Through September, BSB Leasing’s team approved 47% more deals than in the same period last year. “Our team is the reason we’re here,” said Dylan. “I am beyond blessed to be able to work with such amazing people!” For nearly a decade, Dylan has sought to assist the team by building them better tools: tools for the team, tools for brokers to use directly, and automation that takes routine work off of everyone’s plate. The company now runs on its own data, with AI-enabled systems behind the scenes that support everyone’s work.
His view of technology is practical. “The technology can’t replace the people, nor does it make you impersonal,” he said. “It eliminates the things that were otherwise just friction. It becomes easier to work with BSB Leasing, and faster. But it doesn’t sacrifice the people, the collaboration, the relationships, or the integrity BSB Leasing has built.”
Collaboration is the word both men kept coming back to. “We wouldn’t exist unless we have brokers, and we don’t make money unless our brokers make money,” Dylan said. “So it makes zero sense to me not to be collaborative.” Don described what that takes: “You have to understand the business, understand your customer, understand your funding sources, understand everybody’s motivation, so you can wrap that up into a package that’s acceptable to all of those people.”
"The technology doesn't replace the people."

Still building
For funding sources, Don’s message is direct. “The BSB Leasing that you’ve enjoyed a relationship with is going to continue going forward,” he said. “Just because we’ve had a change at the top doesn’t mean that is going to change.”
For Don, the change means more time on the relationships he enjoys most. For Dylan, it means building on a standard he has worked under for nearly a decade and intends to keep.
“I’m looking forward to watching you grow this company,” Don told him. “Working with you has probably been the most rewarding time I’ve had.”
