I am here for Friends

About Me

www.akabecker.com & http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0132588/Born in Queens, NY, raised in Neptune, NJ (near the beach next to Asbury Park/Belmar), moved to LA in 1998. My first LA job was working as the Assistnat Production manager on a music video for rapper Kill Kill's song "Life Ain't Nothin' But Drama" on location at and around the Watts Tower in LA. I next worked on a commerical for a CD release by Made Men. THen I got a job as a PA for a crappy reality show called You Asked for It! I was saved by a friend and got a job as the writers' PA for the first two season of Angel. I then went on to be an Associate Producer (classy PA) for a compnay that made EPKs (Electronic Press Kits) and DVD matierials, mainly for Disney movies/videos. I'm now a dispatcher for a courier company.I got out a few times a week to see friends' bands play around LA (occasionally going to Vegas or San Diego for shows).Becker is a nickname that I eventually got from my fraternity, Alpha Psi Chi, that slowly developed over 7 years. It's too long to get into here.

My Interests

I love going out to see friends' bands around LA. I'm semi-addicted to buying DVDs and CDs. I attempt to play guitar.

I'd like to meet:
