Jesse Lang is a pretty normal guy.
His family moved from Colville to the Tri-Cities when he was 6 years old, so he eventually graduated from Richland High School, then attended Central Washington University and now holds a day job as a third-generation employee at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
And a couple times a year, he’s a voluntary participant in 100-mile races.
