Looking for the best route to work in the Boston suburbs? Need a good piano teacher in San Jose? No matter what the question, finding the answer could be as simple as logging onto a unique Web site created by three Cedarville alumni. NerdHeard.com, the brainchild of Andy Crefeld ’96 , is the first information auction of its kind on the Web. The site allows users to post questions while other qualified members bid on providing the answers. “NerdHeard.com allows people to get answers to any type of question—for work or personal life—in a fast and easy way,” said Andy. “Although Web sites with free information exist, there is no guarantee that the information is high quality or that it will reach you when you need it. The online auction format saves time and ultimately saves money by supplying information the user can trust.” Andy was assisted in this endeavor by his wife, Andrea (Eimers) ’95 , and friends Mia Crecco ’96 and Chris Errico. Launched in the spring of 2002, their NerdHeard site gained immediate popularity. “It’s exciting to see how the Lord orders your steps and exciting to see what happens when you trust Him,” Andy explained.
