After Graduation (1980), I went to SPJC and Florida State. I worked in the Tampa Bay area as a Probation Officer for 11 years. I married Laura Jackson (NEHI '82) in 1990 and I have two wonderful sons Grant(17) and Jon(14).

In 2004 Laura and I decided to adopt a girl from Russia. In the summer of 2004 Natasha came to stay with us for 3 weeks. After the 3 weeks she had to return to Vladivostok Russia. In October 2004 Laura and I traveled to Moscow and Vladivostok to complete the adoption. We stayed in Vladivostok for 2 weeks (courts requirement). We now have an all American teenage girl.

I am currently a Systems Administrator for a wireless distributor. I live in a suburb of St. Louis. You can visit my website at www.murphy.fm
