Meet The Bloom Team

Andrew
"AD"

Frequenting the now defunct Garden State Flea Market as a young kid sparked an early interest in entrepreneurship for Andrew. Buying, selling, and trading became his lifelong hobby, and he started selling hundreds of items online as a preteen. Post college, he spent 12 years in marketing and IT, but always had a side hustle selling on Amazon or eBay, usually computer parts or video games. After he fell down the audiophile rabbit hole and discovered that personal audio was the perfect market for a small ecommerce business, he started Bloom Audio on May 1, 2019.

To call the beginnings "humble" would be an understatement; he put his entire life savings into inventory for 10 brands and barely scraped by the first year. Thankfully, things started taking off in the summer of 2020 as Bloom's reputation for passionate customer service spread. Now, Bloom Audio is established as one of the top online audio stores with much of its growth tied to the incredibly talented team that Andrew has assembled. He wants Bloom's impact to go far beyond happy customers and employees though, and aims to use Bloom to share the love of Jesus Christ in its community and to fund Christian ministries.

Andrew is married to his best friend and middle school crush, Amy, and has 3 kids – Isaac, Reed, and Tulasi. Outside of Bloom, Andrew loves hanging out with his family, rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles, reading comic books, and collecting retro video games.

Stephen
"kosamae"

Steve was Bloom's first employee, and while he primarily does content creation, marketing, and web management, you'll also find him helping out with the tough questions for our customer service team. Music is a huge passion for Steve, and he's played in a number of bands in the past, primarily as a guitarist, but he's also done work as a bassist, drummer, and keyboardist. While he rarely plays out anymore, you can catch his guitar and keyboard work on some of the background tracks for Bloom's Instagram and YouTube content. Of course, his most important job is being a husband to his beautiful, talented wife and a father to his three sons.

Scott
"Copper Johnson"

Scott is Bloom’s “OPs” guy with a highly technical background, an aptitude for developing processes, and paying attention to the details. It’s his job to make sure the production schedule stays on target, problems get solved, the books are clean, the taxes are paid, and Bloom is firing on all cylinders. He’s also a people person, eager to ask the deeper question in order to truly know who people are.

Scott brings a lot of energy to the team with old school wit and a fully caffeinated personality. The eldest on the team, Scott brings years of corporate workplace experience along with a heart to steward resources, care for people and a desire to honor Christ in the workplace. Scott also loves his family, some biological, some not.

Matthew
"Crink"

Matthew started at Bloom in 2022 as a logistics coordinator. In his time spent there, he fulfilled packages, pestered Andrew with questions (both about work and his personal life), and wrestled with the tape gun, creating an extraordinary amount of crinkles in the tape, thus resulting in the nickname of Crink.

Fast forward to the present, Matthew can be found interacting with customers on live chat and in email as Bloom's head customer service lead. His secondary responsibilities mostly reside in content, and can even be found on Bloom's YouTube channel every once in a while. Outside of working hours, no one would be shocked to find him spending time with friends and family, playing video games, or participating in sports or the gym.

From receiving product, bookkeeping, inventory management, and coordinating Bloom’s CanJam events — she helps the operations team keep the Bloom ship sailing. Sierra's primary activity outside of Bloom is spending quality time with her husband, family, and friends. She also enjoys her time as a small group leader for high school girls at her Church, and being in a weekly morning Bible study with two of her closest friends. She loves discovering a new great book, favorite restaurant, coffee shop, TV show, or great place for a walk!
