Jake Ochmonek Tanner (born c. 1975) is the nephew of Trevor and Raquel Ochmonek and the adopted son of kate and Willie Tanner.Jake has a tenuous relationship with his mother, Elaine Ochmonek, who struggles with kleptomania. Jake also has a brother and cousin Victor who are both in jail when ALF was discovered jake moved with the tanners permernantly and officially became a big brother to Brian and a younger brother to Lynn

Jake has a crush on Lynn Tanner, who spurns his many advances. Jake gets along better with Brian Tanner, who sees him to be more like a big brother. In one case where Brian was worried about a forthcoming campout with his Badger Scout troops as he was afraid of the outdoors at night, Jake volunteered to help Brian overcome it, and enlisted ALF to help as well. Jake thought this was important as Brian would have probably had a hard time getting dates when he became older as most girls do social events during night hours.

Biography[]

After Jake's father went to prison for 5 years for fixing horse races, the boy went to live with Trevor and Raquel. Jake later broke into the Tanner's garage in an attempt to steal their telescope, forcing ALF to reveal himself when he stopped the larceny. ALF and Jake become good friends. Jake stopped stealing things and concentrated his efforts on repairing electronics. ALF had rather taught him how to reduce his shy and rude behavior towards people, especially Brian and Lynn. Jake Ochmonek and Brian Tanner became friends.

Etymology[]

Jake is short for Jacob, which means "holder of the heel" or "supplanter." Both meanings of Jacob are referenced in Genesis 25:26 and Genesis 27:36 respectively. The last name Ochmonek is likely a misspelling of Ochmanek, which likely is of Polish origin.
