Murphy was born and raised in Hathaway. He grew up on the beach and learned how to surf at the age of ten. He has hopes and dreams of becoming a professional surfer one day. He also swam in high school and was the top swimmer in the state his junior and senior year. He received several swim scholarships, but ended up going to the local community college. A four-year degree wasn’t an option for Murphy.

Growing up, he was the youngest of three kids. Murphy’s older sister Mallory practically took care of he and his brother Chad. Their mother was a waitress, and their father ran out on them when Murphy was only an infant. He still made it a point to see Mallory and Murphy but declined seeing Chad. When Murphy was thirteen, he learned that Chad was his half-brother, that their mother had cheated on teir father.

Murphy never blamed Chad for their issues growing up but became angry. During middle school he faded into the background and stopped going to school. When he was fourteen, he faked his age, got a fake ID and hired a private investigator to find his mother’s affair and placed a hit on him. He had gotten away. He fired the PI and never investigated it again. It is still embarrassing, and he is afraid for his family or anyone he is in contact with to find out. He eventually worked through his emotional turmoil and started going to school again.

Murphy was always a quiet guy and didn’t have a lot of friends growing up. He still doesn’t have many friends, but prides himself on swimming and surfing. They are his outlets.
