Born in 1986, Alex K. Tchekmeian grew up in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. It was there that he laid the foundation for what has since become a flourishing enterprise, comprised of multiple companies, all catering to the entertainment and web development industry.
At the age of fourteen, Alex began his career as a musician in one of South Florida's most popular indie-rock acts. Soon after, he discovered his passion for entrepreneurial endeavors and focused primarily on his great interest in the entertainment business. Following the band's break-up, Alex continued to move forward with the knowledge from his hands-on experience and created a database of musical talent, and promotional interests, combined with his desire to raise the standard of the music industry.
Alex's drive and ambition in the entertainment field led to the development of AKT Enterprises. He relocated to Orlando, Florida to continue his studies at University of Central Florida and there established the headquarters for AKT Enterprises, which has developed into a multi-faceted business with over sixteen individual and unique companies, ranging from merchandising and web development utilities, to the development of live music venues and bars.
With a rapidly increasing client base of over 5,000, AKT Enterprises has been named one of the fastest growing, most innovative companies to develop in today's entertainment industry. With sales in excess of $2.7 million in 2007, Alex, who is just 21 years of age, is confident that he can double, if not triple, sales within the next year.
As the company continues to expand, Alex is focused on breaking into new areas of business such as real estate and urban apparel development. Alex says, "I love what I do because I have the freedom to explore new markets and industries each day. I find the opportunities challenging and exciting and look for creative ways to bring new ideas into the framework of AKT Enterprises."
