Born in Hillingdon, England in 1990, Wallace turned professional in 2012. He achieved a string of victories in 2016 on the Alps Tour. He had six wins that year - the Dreamland Pyramids Open, the Tunisian Golf Open, the Gösser Open, the Vigevano Open, the Open Frassanelle, and the Alps Tour Grand Final.

His seventh victory came in the 2017 Open de Portugal on the Challenge Tour. He won that tournament by three strokes over Julian Suri. He had a sensational 2018 season on the European Tour, where he registered three wins.
