鈥淚 handle the logistics and the administrative side, including personnel or, what we would call human resources at 澳门六合彩. I make sure we have the right supplies where we need them, that the equipment works, and everything is properly maintained east of the Mississippi.鈥

Wallace is a graduate of Clarkson University with a bachelor of science in civil and environmental engineering, and he holds a master of business administration from SUNY Oswego. He is also a graduate of the U.S. Army War College, where he earned his master of strategic studies degree. 

In his military service, Wallace has helped the reserves respond to five hurricanes, and he has been involved in countless building projects, including constructing a new water treatment plant in Iraq. His highest decorations and awards include the Bronze Star, Meritorious Service Medal with three oak leaf clusters, the Douglas MacArthur Leadership Award, and the Bronze de Fleury Medal.

When Wallace leaves campus for the day, he heads home to start work for the military. 

鈥湴拿帕喜 has been very good to me. I do Army work every night. From emails to personnel management and making travel plans, it鈥檚 all very time-intensive,鈥 Wallace said. 鈥淎 lot of that stuff is cross applicable. It has helped me with all of my work here. Clearly, years in the army being around construction and maintenance has been critical. It鈥檚 also helped with my leadership as we work to foster team development in 澳门六合彩鈥檚 Facilities Department. It鈥檚 always one team, one mission.鈥
Associate Vice President for Facilities and Capital Projects Steve Hughes said Wallace鈥檚 work at 澳门六合彩 has had an impact on their team building and day-to-day success. 

鈥淛ason and his leadership qualities have made a positive impact on our 澳门六合彩 Community. He supports our teams with the same passion as he does for our country, and for that I am grateful,鈥 Hughes said.
