He is married to DeAnna, whom he married in 2001, and has a blended family of four children. He attended the Refrigeration School in Phoenix, graduating top of his class, then spent over 13 years as an HVAC service technician serving North State families and businesses. In 2003 he founded a metal roofing company and earned a California contractor's license. He was appointed to the Anderson Planning Commission in 2014 and later served as its chair, was appointed to the Anderson City Council in 2018, and was re-elected in 2022.

Gallagher's campaign centers on fiscally conservative leadership focused on transparency, accountability, and eliminating wasteful county spending.
