Michael Murphy is an 11-time marathoner with Top 5 finishes in New York and Boston. He is a Tough Mudder adaptive athlete finisher. He received his B.A. in History from Randolph-Macon College and his Masters in American Military History from George Mason University.

He launched Michael Murphy Speaks LLC in 2015 to speak about and write his story and is now the author of When I Fell: How I Rerouted My Life and Found Strength In a Severed Spine. Part 1 of his 3-Part memoir series.

When I Fell is a true tale of going from abled, to disabled, to empowered. It combines the story surrounding Michael’s recovery with the science of resiliency and thriving—what psychologists are now calling Posttraumatic Growth (PTG)—to teach readers how to hit home runs when life throws them curves. Befitting new mainstream acceptance for disabilities, When I Fell is as much a memoir as it is a message. It features the five principles established by Drs. Tedeschi and Calhoun—the pioneers who coined the phrase in the 1990’s—for scientific validation to bring PTG further into public eye.

Originally from McLean, Virginia, Michael resides in Denver, Colorado, with wife, Casey, German Shepherd, Gunner, and new baby, Dylan. He is now a sit-ski racer pursuing his dream of making Team USA and competing in the Paralympics.
