Akers was born in San Diego in 1960. Since his childhood, his father had encouraged him to pursue excellence in whatever he did. Akers earned the rank of Eagle Scout when he was 14. When he was 15, he attended a high school wood shop and built a guitar. Bob Taylor (Taylor) of Taylor Guitars was amazed at the perfection and precision of the guitar made by Akers and asked him to join Taylor Guitars.

In 1983, Akers graduated with a degree in education from Biola University..
