Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on October 10, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Daniel! May your day be filled with more excitement than a breaking Wall Street Journal headline and fewer edits than an investigative piece. Your fearless reporting has always kept us informed—and occasionally nervous—but we wouldn't have it any other way.

From uncovering stories that matter to inspiring countless journalists worldwide, you've proven time and again you're the real pearl of journalism (pun absolutely intended). Here's hoping this year brings you even bigger scoops, shorter deadlines met effortlessly, and plenty of coffee breaks in between!

Cheers to another fantastic chapter—keep making headlines for all the right reasons!
