Lonnie J. Williams was born on November 10, 1946, in Taft, Oklahoma, to Rosetta and Earl Williams. His family relocated to Topeka, Kansas, in the early 1960s, where he graduated from Hayden High School as a distinguished basketball player. Mr. Williams earned a basketball scholarship to Long Beach State College, where he pursued studies in psychology, cultivating foundational skills for supportive leadership. Prior to establishing his enterprise, he honorably served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War as an Army Ranger.

Mr. Williams was the proprietor of L&J Building Maintenance, formerly L&J Enterprises. He founded L&J Building Maintenance, LLC in 1986 as a part-time janitorial venture securing an initial small contract. The company experienced significant growth throughout the 1990s, acquiring numerous contracts with Topeka organizations and expanding into federal contracting across the Midwest. Leveraging his education, expertise, and resources, he strategically diversified his company's offerings to include construction and waste management services. His legacy endures through his children, who currently manage the operations of the company.

Angela has been with the company since its inception. She is founder Lonnie Williams’ stepdaughter, and she began her career with the family business as a high school student, working as a part-time janitor. After graduating from the University of Kansas, she returned to Topeka and took a job at a local social service agency while cleaning various local office buildings in the evenings for LJBM.



When she began working part-time in LJBM’s Administrative office, she became interested in learning more about the business world. She returned to school and earned her Master of Business Administration degree from Washburn University.

The knowledge she gained at WU has benefitted her in helping develop the business, where she is the business manager with many years of financial, administrative, and logistical experience.

Angela also serves on a local ABWA board and volunteers with various community organizations. She and her husband of nearly 30 years can often be found around Topeka attending sporting, school, and recreational events with their son or exploring the outdoors with their two dogs.
