Ever wonder what happens when a former police officer becomes a yoga teacher and then a state senator? Senator Tim Lang’s journey shows how life’s most rewarding paths emerge when we embrace new opportunities.

Raised in New Jersey, New Hampshire, and Alaska, Lang’s connection to New Hampshire deepened after working as a police officer in Anchorage and across New Hampshire. His toughest career experience? Law enforcement, which shaped him deeply, exposing him to human suffering that still influences him today.

Lang’s path took an unexpected turn after selling his computer company, when he became a certified yoga instructor. Spending a month at an ashram, he found yoga not only improved physical flexibility but also mental clarity, a practice that continues to benefit him in his current roles.

Today, Lang manages technology for Live Nation venues, where he’s had memorable moments with artists like Dave Matthews and Chris Stapleton. He shares insights about why artists love performing in New Hampshire, despite its smaller venues.

Lang’s political career began when he was asked to help with community projects, leading him to run for office when a retiring representative knocked on his door. His philosophy? “If you’re not enjoying it, why are you doing it?”

As creator of the bipartisan “Beer Caucus,” Lang emphasizes unity over division in politics, saying, “It’s not about angry politics—it’s about recognizing our common humanity.”
