Finding Balance, by Patti Koning

Mechanical engineer Justin Galbraith likens himself to a Siberian Husky that gets into trouble without enough exercise.

“I’m very driven. I appreciate a challenge, whether it’s pushing myself physically with trail running or intellectually with an intense design review,” he said. “I am constantly testing my boundaries so I can earn my rest and relaxation.”

Blades and beyond, by Ben Kennedy

Growing up in Livermore, Tony Olson knew he wanted to work at the Lab from an early age. To get there, he developed a clear way of making decisions. In high school, he felt lazy — so he joined the Marines, where they could “knock the lazy right out of me.” During his Marine Corps service as an aviation mechanic, he chose the most prestigious detail he could: working on President Obama’s helicopter, Marine One.
