Angela Sallinen
Meet Angela Sallinen — A Heart for Others, A Champion for Youth
At LHBM, we believe the right people make all the difference.
That’s why we’re honored to welcome Angela Sallinen, who officially joins our team in mid-August!
Angela brings a spirit of compassion, integrity, and quiet leadership to everything she does. She’s a proud mom (her favorite title!), a skilled professional in accounting, and someone who consistently shows up for others — especially youth and those in need of care.
Her journey of service includes volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Miracle League, both of which left a profound impact on her. In 2020, she became a certified crisis counselor and began supporting others through the Crisis Text Line, offering presence and guidance in people’s most vulnerable moments.
Angela shares:
“I’ve always felt a pull to guide and protect others, especially our youth and most vulnerable. I think everyone deserves someone who believes in them and who can help them see how wonderful and capable they are.”
In her free time, you’ll find Angela surrounded by her favorite people — her husband, son, two dogs, and a close circle of family and friends.
Angela, we’re grateful for your heart, your voice, and the wisdom you bring to LHBM.
We can’t wait for the community to meet you.

I’m extremely grateful for this opportunity and feel that I am a great fit for this job due to my backgrounds.”

Samuel Hemery
LHBM Legacy Family — Meet Sam!
This one hits home for me…
Sam Hemery has been like a little brother to me for years. I’ve watched him put in the work—day in and day out—with no excuses, no shortcuts, just pure dedication. He comes from a strong, loving family with amazing parents and a big brother, Jack, who's always had his back. Sam didn’t grow up in hardship—he grew up in a household built on values, character, and love. And still, he grinds like someone with everything to prove. That’s the part that inspires me the most.
Now, Sam’s taking his talents to Rochester Community and Technical College to play basketball, and while I’m proud of that—what really moves me is that he’s choosing to give back. He understands how important it is for young men to have someone in their corner, and he's stepping up to be that for others. He’ll always have a place at LHBM—every summer he’s home, and one day when he returns with his degree. That’s how legacy works.
*My name is Sam Hemery, a proud Class of 2025 graduate from Green Bay West High School and a dedicated student-athlete. I've been playing basketball and football for years, and I’m excited to continue my athletic journey playing basketball at Rochester Community and Technical College in Minnesota. My long-term goal is to pursue a career in education and work closely with youth.
Mentoring young and upcoming men is a powerful way for me to help guide them down the right path—especially because I’ve witnessed people close to me take the wrong one. I believe many kids have greatness in them, but they often learn from the wrong adults or, sadly, have no one to learn from at all.
As a Mentor with LHBM Legacy, I want to be that positive presence—someone they can look up to, trust, and grow with. My mission is to offer real leadership and guidance to help our youth build a bright and successful future.
I’m incredibly blessed and excited for this opportunity—and I can’t wait to get started

Brandon Wilson
Meet Brandon Wilson – A True Champion in the Making
I’ve had the privilege of knowing Brandon and his family since he was in middle school. From day one, he’s shown heart, talent, and determination. As an athlete, I’ve coached him for years and watched him grow into a young man with incredible discipline and purpose. We've had a lot of success together—on the field, on the court, and now in our mentoring program before he heads off to college this fall.
When we say we’re here to uplift and empower our youth—this is exactly what we mean. Brandon is the kind of role model our young people need.
Here’s a message from Brandon in his own words:
“My name is Brandon Wilson. I am a proud Class of 2025 graduate from Green Bay West High School. I am a very committed student-athlete. I’ve played basketball and football my entire life, and I am very grateful and blessed to be able to continue my athletic journey playing basketball at Rochester Community Technical College in Minnesota. A long-term goal I have is to follow God’s path and become an athletic trainer so I can still involve myself with sports.
As a mentor with LHBM Legacy, I want to become that big brother that the clients can talk to about anything, and I would support them. My goal is to lead and make sure my clients are moving in the right direction for their future success! I am very excited and blessed to be given this opportunity and can’t wait to get started!”
Welcome to the LHBM Legacy team, Brandon! Let’s keep building, growing, and leading the way for our youth.
