During his working career, Wallace was a Sales Assistant at Pilot Company, Flagger at Flagger Force Traffic Control. While at Flagger Force, he was promoted from a Field Flagger to a Lead Crew Leader with additional responsibilities in receiving a field truck and coordinating work routes and detours.

 

In his leisure time, Wallace loved dancing, binge watching "The Walking Dead" as well as all types of other movies, gaming and music. He enjoyed the many, many family social gatherings. As an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan, he is attending several pro football games. GO STEELERS!
