Wallace “Wally” Amos separated from the Air Force as an Airman 2nd Class after serving from 1955 to 1959. As a young, uneducated African-American man growing up in the late 40s and early 50s, Amos faced numerous challenges. He decided to drop out of high school to join the Air Force where he eventually earned his GED. Upon his honorable discharge after four years of service he, returned to New York to work in retail and in the mailroom at a New York talent agency. He enjoyed more than 20 years of success as “Famous Amos” before selling off the company in 1985. After moving to Hawaii, Amos’ love for cookies continued and started a different cookie company, “Cookie Kahuna.” He is the author of ten books, an inspirational speaker and an advocate for childhood literacy.
