Jason Amada’s Biography
Jason Amada has always been drawn to new learning opportunities. Amada grew up in New York City, not the typical American little town. He lived in Forest Hills, Queens, and Upper West Side, Manhattan. Like many other families, he had to move from rental to rental as needed. Every week, something new happened in a town so crowded it might have been its own country. Neighbors moved in and out, buildings were repaired. Also, playgrounds became parking lots. The change was everywhere. While other parts of New York City have remained unchanged, Jason Amada's childhood was filled with movement and a fast-paced lifestyle.
