Daniel Murray, DC graduated from Parker University in August of 2016.  During his time at Parker, he served as a Research Assistant, Student Senator, IFCO President, and Student Senate President.  As a student he also attended the BMTE Mission Trip in Peru, where he was able to gain valuable experience adjusting at a high volume.  

A month after graduation Dr. Murray opened up his own clinic Murray Chiropractic Center in San Antonio, TX, where he focuses on the detection and correction of vertebral subluxation.  His practice members range in age from newborns to seniors, and he has a special affinity for adjusting families.  He has also adjusted professional athletes, including an ex-NFL player.  Dr. Murray is a published author, his book Keeping Health Simple can be purchased on Amazon.   

Dr. Murray is a father of three wonderful children, Jeffrey, Dani, and Davy.  All three children play basketball and enjoy kayaking, fishing, and camping with their dad.  Dr. Murray is also an avid gardener and spends most of his free time working on DIY projects around his house.  One of his passions is real estate investing which purchases older homes, remodels them, then rents them out or sells them.

Future plans for his practice include hiring an associate and expanding to own multiple locations.  His key to success is “using his clinic to build people, not people to build his clinic.”  If you would like to connect with Dr. Murray or have questions about his practice model, please reach out via email: [email protected]

What inspired the vision for your two books?

In the first book, you write about the Faithful Realist and the second book the Humble Idealist. Talk about the shift in focus.

Snippets From The Humble Idealist:

No one can go back and make a brand new start, but anyone can start now and have a brand new end.

Disappointed idealists aren't cowards as some may think; they are reeling from the pain of being unable to reconcile their reality with their idealistic expectations.

We can confuse expectations and faith. Whereas faith is actively trusting God, and leaving the outcome and our happiness in his hands, expectations are just mental creations.

The opposite of expectation is acceptance. While expectations are based in the imaginary, acceptance is grounded in reality.

Regardless of what an idealist imagines - we cannot be truly happy until we accept life on life's terms.
