Andrew Wallace: From Wakeboards to Workforce Boss

This week, we’re joined by Andrew Wallace, founder of Contract Wallace, whose winding journey from small-town Idaho to running crews across the country is anything but typical. Raised with a wrench in one hand and a wakeboard in the other, Andrew shares how broken bones, boat repairs, and blue-collar grit shaped his path to entrepreneurship.

We dive into his early days as a sponsored wakeboarder, semi-truck driver, and summer sales rookie—all before discovering his calling in construction. From fixing steering columns on the lake to building siding crews for military bases, Andrew’s story is a masterclass in resilience, adaptability, and hands-on leadership.

You’ll hear how heartbreak became fuel for business growth, why core values are non-negotiable on his crews, and how he's creating purpose-driven culture in an aging industry. Whether you're in the trades or just love a good comeback story, this episode delivers.

Tune in and get inspired by the hustle, humility, and hustle of Andrew Wallace.
