Let's make this birthday one to remember.

39 years old (Born on December 01, 1985)

Happy birthday, John! Another year older and still skating circles around us all. Who could forget your dazzling victory at the 2012 U.S. Championships? Your ice moves were smoother than my attempts to stay upright on frozen sidewalks!

And let's not overlook that impressive silver finish at the Four Continents Championships—placing second in an international showdown is no small feat (or skate!). May you glide into this new year with grace and perhaps a few less bruises from gravity's little reminders.

Here's wishing many more spins, laughs, and endless applause—you truly are figure skating royalty!
