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 the highest rated and largest online personal audio store in North America 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
"Sage"

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.

Random Fact: Physical fitness ranks just below music in importance for Steve: he had a stint as a competitive powerlifter, and currently coaches youth basketball and soccer.

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. He is passionate in his core responsibility of developing new processes for the customer service team and leading them to the best of his ability. Outside of working hours, no one would be shocked to find him spending time with his wife, playing video games, or participating in sports or at the gym.
