Sam was born in St. Paul, MN on July 27th, 1993 to Joe and Karen Salisbury. He grew up with 6 siblings as the youngest child.

After the Army, he graduated from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management. Upon graduating, he had a career in Logistics, which he enjoyed.

Sam was a loving husband to his wife, Callie, and father to his daughter, Madeley. During his free time, he could be found playing video games with friends across the country, building blocks and reading with Madeley, working on house projects and spending time with his family and friends.
