ABOUT ME
Early life
I grew up in Denham Springs, Louisiana where I spent my early years living in a trailer park.
Back then I lived in a time when everyone only knew how to make doctor money in cowboy boots.
We grew up in a home that was riddled with infertility, divorce, violence, and house fires.
Despite these adversities, being dyslexic and failing 6th grade, I persevered with my education and played football in high school as a tight end for the Denham Springs High School football team.
College
In 2005, I was invited to walk on the field at the University of Louisiana Monroe, where I eventually secured a full-ride scholarship and a spot on the football team.
We famously beat the Alabama Crimson Tide's Football team coached by Nick Saban 21-14 in 2007.
I graduated from Louisiana Monroe in 2009 with a Bachelor of Business & Science and Construction Management.
My 20s After College
After I graduated, I discovered the job I was promised in Dallas with a starting salary of $70-80k and the potential to become the VP with a salary of $150k did not exist.
I found work as a server at Texas de Brazil in Baton Rouge and assisted my stepfather in building metal buildings in backyards for $10 per hour.
While seeking other job opportunities, I stumbled upon a $40 million hospital construction project in Baton Rouge
.I regularly appeared at the job site and eventually met a manager who recognized me and offered a position.
Building My First Company
I received a per diem of $70-80k from the company and used a bank loan to obtain my commercial and residential contractors license.
My first commercial job resulted in a loss of $25,000.
To pay off my debts, I worked for another industrial company for a year before starting my company, RedIron Construction.
By 2014, I had grown the company to generate $800k in annual revenue where I hired my first project manager, which increased RedIron’s revenue to $1.5 million.
At age 28, the company had reached $2 million in revenue, allowing me to form partnerships with associations and companies across the United States.
As RedIron began to travel across the United States, it expanded to $10 million in revenue by 2022.
This year, we are on track to make $35 million in revenue and the leading metal building erection company in Louisiana.
As of today, we proudly operate 130 men alongside my management team.
JWALLER
In 2021, I launched my YouTube channel after achieving success in the construction industry.
My goal is to change as many lives as possible online through social media and pushing everyone I care about into The Real World.
I offer guidance to individuals worldwide especially to those who living alone in a small town and looking for advice in business, mindset, health, and relationships.
