Sal D'Angelo

My name is Sal D’Angelo, and I am the Founder & President of LakePointe Advisors LLC. I entered financial services in 1997 with AG Edwards & Sons, driven by a fascination with the stock market and a desire to build wealth through smart, strategic decisions. As the years passed, it became clear that the corporate investment world wasn’t where I could do my best work—too many restrictions, not enough room for real impact. So I built my own firm, focused on doing things differently: strategy first, clients as partners, and no corporate playbook. It was a leap—but one that allowed me to do what I do best.

Lasting wealth doesn’t begin with big returns—it starts with tax strategy. Before you build the portfolio, you’ve got to plug the leaks. Every dollar you don’t lose to unnecessary taxes is a dollar that can grow, reinvest, and accelerate your future. That’s why smart tax planning isn’t an afterthought at LakePointe Advisors—it’s the first move.

I'm a graduate of Lake Catholic High School and John Carroll University where I was a two-time Division III All-American wrestler and inducted into the JCU Athletic Hall of Fame in 2002. My family and I live in Mentor, Ohio. I enjoy all sports, especially football and golf.
