Wallace was born in Costa Rica and lived there until the age of nine. His love for the sport was already established when he made his way to the United States and settled in Maryland. In the almost dozen years since moving here he has blossomed into a top talent, with the help of the soccer development system in this country. He is fully aware of what being in America has done for him as a player, which is why he is currently undecided on which country he will ultimately play for.
"Right now I haven't made a decision and I'm not leaning either way," said Wallace. "I was born in Costa Rica and there are feelings there where I would love to play for the national team, but I've been here [in the United States] and being here is a big reason I've become the player I am now."
