Mr. Alfaro was born in Guatemala, where he began working in a shoe factory at age 9 and was an expert at making shoes at 12. He worked as a chemist, then owned his own shoe factory. In 1974, Mr. Alfaro came to the United States.
While waiting for his resident papers and social security card, the only place he could get a job was Deseret Industries. He began working in DI's upholstery shop, where he started learning the trade of upholstering furniture. In just 3 months his work so impressed his boss that he was made supervisor of the upholstery crew.

" Allen, " As you know, you are amazing. My La-Z-Boy rcking/recliner is a major part of my life as some imfirmities are slowing me down. It means the world to have it back so soon. Even more important is how beautiful it is. The color the fabric are just right. Even more important than that,is how comfortable it is. I am very aware of the special Features such as the covers to protect the arms and where one's head rests, the same a my chair had when it was new. It is wonderful to have the cushion. It is so well made with special features, too. As i was asking friends i know about locating a company to re-upholster my special chair, you were highly recommended. No other companies were mentioned. I look no Further. Now i feel honered that you were willing to restore my special chair. I feel more than fortunate that you have been such a great help for me- i feel blessed. " Thank you, very much. I wish you well."
