Let's make this birthday one to remember.

66 years old (Born on March 02, 1959)

Happy Birthday, Chris! From navigating the halls of Congress as a proud Blue Dog Democrat to shaping young minds at Penn State Worthington Scranton, you've certainly mastered the art of balancing politics and academia. Who knew homeland security strategy could pair so well with grading midterms?

Your journey from Capitol Hill to BAE Systems proves you're equally comfortable briefing defense experts in London or lecturing sleepy undergrads on political science back home. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with fewer policy memos and more cake—after all, even homeland security directors deserve a day off!

Cheers to another remarkable year!
