Andrew Crefeld

Managing Director

Tennessee

Andrew Crefeld has more than 20 years of experience founding, leading and modernizing technology‑enabled service organizations, where he has built, scaled, and repositioned teams across real estate media, enterprise services, and high‑growth operational environments. His career spans service as a U.S. Air Force officer, founder, executive, and strategic advisor, with a track record of strengthening operations, driving revenue expansion, and guiding organizations through transition, integration, and strategic change.

Andrew was the founder and CEO of HouseLens, a tech‑enabled media and software company that grew from a single‑market startup into a forty‑market operation with 48 employees and more than $3.8 million in annual revenue. Under his leadership, the company became a national provider of real‑estate visual marketing solutions and was ultimately acquired by a strategic buyer, where Andrew continued to lead post‑acquisition integration and enterprise program development.

Earlier in his career, Andrew served in the U.S. Air Force, supporting global network modernization and secure communications initiatives—experience that shaped his disciplined, systems‑driven approach to leadership.

As founder of ACI, Andrew has advised business owners on growth, operational scale, and exit readiness, helping companies strengthen their systems, financial clarity, and market positioning. His work spans software development, enterprise systems integration, and strategic planning for organizations preparing for acquisition or expansion.

Andrew holds deep expertise in operations, sales, IT systems, and acquisition strategy, with a track record of leading organizations through growth, transition, and transformation.

Fun Facts

An entrepreneur at heart, Andrew knows both the thrill of launching a company and the discipline required to recognize when it’s time to prepare for an exit. He has personally navigated two rounds of demanding due diligence while still running and scaling his business—managing the pressure of serving customers, leading teams, and keeping operations moving while buyers scrutinized every detail. That experience gave him a deep empathy for business owners who are balancing growth with exhaustion, opportunity with risk, and the emotional reality of letting go of something they or the previous generation built. Those lessons shape the grounded, owner‑focused perspective he brings to every advisory relationship. Andrew serves in leadership at King & City Church and enjoys supporting his family’s creative ventures, real‑estate projects, and community initiatives. He is passionate about integrating faith, leadership, and practical wisdom into every sphere of life.

Client Testimonials

“We worked with Gary on an acquisition of an Electrical Services company that just recently closed. Gary was a consummate professional throughout the entire process. His guidance, counsel and assistance throughout the entire process was invaluable, especially with this being our first venture into a small business purchase. The entire process was extremely professional. The CIM that was prepared for the company was well put together and informative. Gary demonstrated a deep knowledge of the company and was able to answer many of our initial questions. Gary stayed in close contact during the entire time from initial engagement through he day of closing to insure it went as smoothly as possible. If we pursue additional acquisitions or decide to sell a business, Gary would be my first stop for sure.”

Mark Evangelisto, Buyer

“I’m a Financial Advisor and have referred several of my business owner clients to Gary Herviou to help them sell their businesses. Each client’s experience working with Gary has been outstanding, giving me complete confidence to continue referring others in the future. Gary is a true professional who understands all the intricacies involved in buying or selling a business. I would never recommend that a client sell a business without having a representative like Neumann & Associates on their side.”

Chad White

“I'm an attorney. I have represented the buyers and sellers of businesses for 20+ years. Recently I had the pleasure of handling a transaction where Richard Wilder of A. Neumann & Associates was the broker for the seller. Mr. Wilder was of great service to his client. He is very knowledgeable and organized. Thanks to his guidance the transaction proceeded smoothly and closed on time. He is highly recommended.”

Nick Ferrante

“Richard, you came to my office a few years ago and were wonderful in explaining your process and procedures. Our company is probably an anomaly in that we sold the majority to two long time employees and I financed them both. Our company is entering its 45th year and is still thriving. The purpose of the note is to thank you very much for the service that you provide. Thank you again.”

John Foug, Seller

“We had a great experience working with Richard Wilder from Neumann and Associates as the sell-side broker for Blade Runners. He was knowledgeable, professional, and clearly had his client’s best interests at heart. Richard helped keep the process smooth for everyone, and thanks in part to his efforts, we found a fantastic owner to partner with. We'd gladly work with Richard and the Neumann and Associates team again.”

Justin Martin

“Very happy with Richard and the entire process. I was on the buyer side of the transaction.”

Isaac Palmer, Jr.

“If you are looking for a professional and informative company that meets your needs, A Neumann & Associates is the company to go with. Ted Kantor went above and beyond to make our experience as easy as possible. Ted was helpful from the start of our process to the end. He was there every step of the way to guide us and answer all of our questions. He handled all of the in-depth communication and followed up on every detail. We strongly recommend Ted Kantor to help you whether you're buying or selling. It was a great experience. We never imagined it would go as smooth as it did. The Laluna's (Andy, Maria & Tony Jr)”

“A Pleasure to work with - I highly recommend them! Working with Richard Wilder was a pleasure, and he found us the perfect match.”

Laura Keith-Macario

“This spring we acquired a business that was represented by Richard Wilder at A Neumann & Associates. Small business acquisitions can be very emotional for the sellers and life-changing for the buyers, and Richard was keenly aware of this throughout the process. Although he was working for the sellers and not for us, he knew that most business owners see their business as their baby so the only way to have a happy outcome for his clients was to also have a happy outcome for the buyers. Knowing how nerve-wracking this process can be (think home buying x 10), he never dropped the ball on keeping everyone updated, anticipating potential snags, and guiding us along in the process. We highly recommend Richard.”

Shannon, Buyer

“My business was my baby for over 40 years. It is a tough and cruel world out there when it comes to selling your business. Neuman and Associates provided the professional guidance/protection to get the job done with care and no pressure. In my view a tremendous value. I would recommend them to anyone seeking to sell their business. Eric Storck, president of Blade Runners Inc.”
