Episode 2: Joe Wallo

Brought to you by Mark Wallo Pump Service and Peak Excavating Inc.

In this episode of Foothills Under 30, we sit down with Joe Wallo, a 25-year-old welder based in the Bass Lake area who runs his own business, builds work that lasts, and quietly shows up for his community, including picking up trash and caring for the land we all share.

Joe’s story is one of steady grit, humility, and doing the work even when no one’s watching. Just showing up, working hard, and being a part of the change in where you live.
