Zach Howder
Co-Founder, Bloom Capital Development
One thing people will tell you about me…I’m the guy who runs toward the chaos when everyone else bails. Whether it’s a distressed property, a business that needs rebuilding, or a deal that looks impossible on paper I show up with solutions, calm under pressure, and with a strategy that works. I co-founded Bloom Capital to bring that same energy into real estate. This isn’t about chasing checks or cutting corners, it’s about building something that lasts, creating alignment, and leading with heart driven purpose in everything we touch. My path didn’t start polished. I’ve had to fight through some of the darkest chapters of my life, from battling addiction to undergoing life-changing brain surgery in 2018 after years of silent pain. Most people would’ve folded. I used it as fuel. I grew up in a hard-working family and played college football in the trenches, where I learned to take hits, push through, and show up when it matters most. That mindset carried me through recovery, through rebuilding my health, my mission, and my identity from the ground up. When the world shut down during COVID, I didn’t retreat…I doubled down. I’ve rebuilt after injuries, rebuilt businesses from scratch, and kept finding a way forward. I’m not about theory or talk. I’m a “show me the challenge, I’ll find the way” kind of guy. For the past five years, I’ve operated at the intersection of real estate, crisis response, systems design, and team leadership. I’m a certified Swift Water Rescue Technician and have been boots-on-the-ground during hurricanes, floods, and national disaster deployments. I still work actively in both emergency search and rescue as well as long-term recovery efforts, because that’s not just something I do, it’s a passion I have found. That same urgency, clarity, and service-first mindset is what drives how I lead at Bloom. We build systems that hold up under pressure. We structure creative deals that actually make sense. We protect sellers, empower buyers, and create partnerships built to last. Whether I’m negotiating seller finance, raising capital, or helping someone break through their next level, I show up with full authenticity and zero fluff. Every time. Because at the end of the day, this isn’t just about real estate. It’s about people. It’s about truth. And it’s about delivering results when it counts most. I believe in the power of people. I believe in collaboration over competition. And I believe that if we align on values and take massive focused action that we can build something powerful, together.
Tatum Bowker
Co-Founder, Bloom Capital Development
I’m Tatum Bowker, co-founder of Bloom Capital Development a purpose-driven real estate investment firm grounded in faith, integrity, and generational impact. Born and raised in small-town southern Oklahoma, I was brought up to believe that a man’s word is more valuable than what he owns. That lesson has stuck with me and defines the way I lead anchored in grit, humility, and a deep commitment to doing what’s right, especially when no one is watching.
Early in life, I experienced a pivotal loss the death of a childhood friend which made the brevity of life painfully clear. That moment instilled in me a sense of urgency to live with intention, to pursue purpose over comfort, and to leave behind more than material success. Over the years, God has refined me through both discipline and grace, teaching me to see success not just as a matter of financial return, but as an opportunity to uplift others, restore communities, and serve with excellence.
Professionally, my foundation is in private equity, where I’ve had the privilege of working with thousands of accredited investors across the United States. These experiences sharpened my ability to raise capital, build meaningful relationships, and steward investor trust with transparency and accountability. At Bloom, I focus primarily on the investor side of our business helping clients grow their portfolios strategically while aligning capital with projects that create real-world value and positive impact.
Now based in Charlotte, North Carolina, I bring a relational, grounded approach to one of the fastest-growing real estate markets in the country. For me, business is about more than just transactions it’s about building partnerships that last, and legacies that matter.
At Bloom, we’re not interested in chasing volume. We’re driven by impact. Every property we touch is an opportunity to plant seeds that will outlast us to create value that extends beyond profit and into purpose. If you’re someone who values people over process, and purpose over short-term gains, I’d be honored to connect and explore how we can build something meaningful together.
Jennifer Williams
Founding Member, Bloom Capital Development
Hi! I’m Jennifer Williams, a founding member here at Bloom Capital Development. As a native Charlottean (yes, you heard that right, I’m one of the rare natives here in the Queen city) I have been able to see this city evolve over the years from a small city into the growing Metropolis that it currently is. That exponential growth inspired me and led me to help create this company from the ground up to not only help people be able to be a part of the growth of Charlotte, but areas around the country through strategic and creative capital development opportunities. I’ve always had a natural eye for value, whether it’s identifying a high-potential investment property or uncovering a hidden gem at a local thrift shop. I’m a deal finder by nature, and that instinct fuels everything I do. Combined with my background in international logistics, I bring a unique ability to navigate complex transactions with purpose, precision, and speed. Before launching my real estate career, I spent nearly a decade managing global marine operations at Maersk, where shifting timelines, high stakes, and constant changes were the norm. That experience shaped my ability to stay agile, detail-driven, and solutions-focused under pressure, skills I now apply to every investment we manage at Bloom. From contract to close, I specialize in keeping deals organized, on track, and investor-ready. Organization isn’t just a strength, it’s the foundation of how I operate. I understand that when capital is on the line, there’s no room for guesswork. Timelines, clear communication, and execution matter. As both an operator and entrepreneur, I take pride in building systems that support scale and efficiency—without sacrificing the personal touch. I’m deeply committed to delivering a white-glove, client-centered experience that reflects each investor’s unique goals and risk tolerance. Whether you're acquiring your first asset or expanding your portfolio, I approach every deal with the same level of care and urgency I’d expect if it were my own. Above all, I value the relationships we are building with each person along the way. I have always been able to connect easily with people from all walks of life and bring warmth, clarity, and professionalism to every interaction. Let’s work together to make your next investment not just successful, but seamless.
Mark Howder
Director of Operations, Bloom Capital Development
Hi, I’m Mark Howder, and I’m proud to be part of Bloom Capital Co., where we’re building something that matters with grit, heart, and unwavering integrity. For over 20 years, I’ve been in the trenches of business operations, shaping high-performing teams and integrating AI and contact center solutions that drive results. From scrappy startups to Fortune 15 powerhouses, I’ve led diverse international and domestic teams as a Director of Operations, always with a focus on creating cultures that thrive on engagement, accountability, and shared success. If there’s one thing you’ll hear about me, it’s that I’m the guy who leans into the tough stuff. Whether it’s turning around a struggling operation, navigating complex challenges, or building a team from the ground up, I show up with solutions and a steady hand. My approach is rooted in a belief that how we treat each other while hitting our goals is just as important as the numbers we deliver. That’s why I’m passionate about infusing emotional intelligence into every interaction, creating workplaces where people feel valued, clients stay loyal, and success feels meaningful. My journey wasn’t a straight line. Growing up, I was shaped by coaches and teachers who taught me to push past limits and demand the best from myself. That drive was forged in fire during my time in the U.S. Army as a Combat Engineer, Airborne. Parachuting into high-stakes missions and tackling obstacles that seemed insurmountable, I learned that resilience and focus can crack even the toughest problems. Those lessons stuck with me, fueling my ability to lead through chaos and build systems that hold up under pressure. At Bloom Capital, I’m bringing that same energy to create a team that’s all about action, integrity, and impact. We’re not just solving problems—we’re forging partnerships and delivering results that last. Whether I’m streamlining operations, fostering a culture of excellence, or helping our clients succeed, I approach every challenge with authenticity and a relentless drive to get it right. Let’s build something powerful together—one that’s rooted in trust, driven by purpose, and built to endure.
Tamara Harris
Acquisitions Specialist, Bloom Capital Development
I’m Tamara Harris, an Acquisitions Specialist at Bloom Capital Development. Before stepping into real estate, I spent over 15 years in Human Resources, building a career centered around people-first leadership, strategic problem-solving, and organizational development. I had the opportunity to work across multiple industries, helping companies grow by investing in their greatest asset, their people. Becoming a mother shifted my perspective and inspired me to pursue a path that offered more flexibility, purpose, and impact. That journey led me to real estate, where I bring the same level of integrity, communication, and analytical thinking that shaped my professional foundation. Here at Bloom my passion is identifying unique off-market opportunities, building strong relationships with both property owners and investors alike, and creating win win solutions that align with our clients goals. I approach each conversation with care, transparency, and the belief that real estate can be a tool for empowerment and growth! When I’m not working, you’ll find me spending time outdoors with my family, traveling, or in the kitchen, my happy place, cooking and exploring new recipes.
