At an early age, he began his career helping his family, and at 16, he started working as a school bus driver for the Bulloch County Board of Education.

He was also employed as a custodian for the Bulloch County Board of Education at Statesboro High School, later transferring to Sallie Zetterower School. He retired after 47 years of service.

Amos was a mechanic who could fix anything. He worked on vehicles in Bulloch and surrounding counties for many years and helped his brother with farm work.

He was an avid sports fan and played catcher for the Ruff Rider Baseball Team. He was also the honorary basketball coach, "Coach Hill #2," for Coach Lee Hill and the Statesboro High School Blue Devils Basketball Team.
