065: Andrew Wilder | Nerd Press

January 30, 2019 By Elaine

Andrew Wilder is founder and owner of Nerd Press (formerly Blog Tutor), a full service website support platform for food bloggers and entrepreneurs.

Andrew Wilder Headshot

Since 1998, Andrew Wilder has successfully combined his passions for food and technology by helping professional food bloggers and entrepreneurs build, repair and maintain their websites.

Andrew is also founder and creator of the popular food blog Eating Rules and the annual October Unprocessed challenge, which has helped more than 30,000 people change their lives by cutting out processed food.

Andrew is a noted expert in both the culinary and technical fields, having spoken on a variety of topics for conferences such as WordCamp LAX, the International Association of Culinary Professionals, Food & Wine, Techmunch, BlogHer, and BlogHer Food. He has been profiled in the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, and Eating Well Magazine.

Though he geeks out on technology (and has even contributed to WordPress Core), Andrew’s clients love that he communicates using “real people” language, not confusing jargon and tech-speak.

Andrew is a proud Eagle Scout, and lives in Santa Monica, California with his husband Matty.
