Dave Lang is a husband and girl dad (of three). He grew up in Dumont, NJ and, soon after graduating from Loyola University, moved back to Maryland to begin an internship with the Baltimore Ravens. During his first season with the Ravens in 2007, Dave befriended then-Director of Player Development, O.J. Brigance, who had been diagnosed with ALS just one month earlier.
Now the Ravens' Sr. Director of Digital Strategy & Innovation, Dave is proudly entering his 20th season with the team. He has also served on the board for the Ravens Foundation since 2019.
Much more a "regular" guy than a world-class endurance athlete, Dave has completed all six races in the Baltimore Running Festival, including his first marathon in 2012 and a 4th-place overall finish in the 2025 Baltimoron-a-Thon. Dave also ran the 2022 Marine Corps Marathon 50K to raise over $3,500 for a friend battling breast cancer. He and his family currently live in Eldersburg where he spends lots of time driving his daughters to activities when he isn't running.
Following his diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in 2007, seven-year NFL veteran and Super Bowl XXXV champion O.J. Brigance and his wife, Chanda created the Brigance Brigade Foundation to equip, encourage, and empower people living with ALS. The foundation's mission is to improve the quality of life for people living with ALS (PALS) and their families by providing access to support services, needed equipment and resource guidance.
Throughout 19 years, the BBF has helped hundreds of families across the mid-Atlantic region and beyond, increasing access to caregiving services, equipment, and in-home accessibility for PALS. In addition to providing financial help to offset some of the staggering costs associated with ALS, the BBF is also committed to programming that supports the mental, physical, and emotional health of ALS caregivers (CALS).
