About
Wallace is from the greater Washington, D.C. area, where he splits his time between a full-time career and writing, often circling the same questions about systems, pressure, and the quiet ways people adapt to forces larger than themselves.
He didn’t start writing because he wanted to be a writer. He started because certain ideas wouldn’t leave him alone, and writing became a way to sit with them long enough to understand what they were asking.
His interest in cities, institutions, and unwritten rules is shaped by both fiction and his professional work in information technology and automation. In both, failure is rarely sudden. It’s gradual, built from small decisions that once felt reasonable.
Wallace writes slowly and with intention, favoring consequence over spectacle and honest resolutions over clean ones. When he’s not writing, he works, trains regularly, and pays attention to the small moments that tend to linger—where most of the stories begin.
