Born in Israel, Amnon Shor immigrated to the United States in 1980 following the woman he fell in love with. Shortly after, he married his wife Lynette, and together they have three children and seven grandchildren. They decided to settle in California and call it home. Shor began working in the jewelry business, owning his own wholesale and retail operations. In 1986 the family moved to Fresno, to pursue a passion for Arabian horses and bought a ranch for that purpose in the beautiful Central Valley.
