In 1999, Amack co-founded AW Holdings Corporation, a Canadian corporation doing business as Booster Juice in Canada.

Booster Juice operates about 150 stores in Canada, is rapidly expanding in the U.S. with about 50 stores to date, and has franchises in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

This business paid for a substantial amount of their college education.
