Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on April 08, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Richard! From defending goals with the New England Revolution to tackling complex equations at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, you've always known how to keep opponents—and electrons—on their toes. Your legendary moves on the soccer field in '96 still inspire awe; rumor has it even gravity paused briefly when you jumped for headers.

Now retired from both fields (pun intended), your legacy remains unmatched. Whether it's recalling that epic slide tackle or unraveling scientific mysteries, your versatility is timeless. Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter and success—may your knees stay strong and your lab coat forever stylish!
