Mr. Amara was born September 2, 1953 in San Diego, California. He always had a knack for fixing things which led him to a career as a mobile RV Tech. For the last 15 years, he has supported the William Holland School of Lapidary Arts, taking care of their maintenance needs. Whether wood and metal, His artistic talent was obvious as he crafted the material with his hands.
