Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on December 06, 1949)

Happy Birthday, Richard! May your day be filled with fewer regulations and more celebrations. From steering the SEC through turbulent markets to championing transparency in corporate America, you've always known how to keep things balanced—just like a well-audited balance sheet.

Your leadership has left an enduring legacy that still inspires integrity today. Whether you're cracking down on insider trading or simply blowing out birthday candles, you handle it all with unmatched style and wit. Here's hoping this year brings returns as impressive as your career achievements—and cake that's sweeter than any successful compliance audit!

Cheers to another remarkable trip around the sun!
