About Me

Peter Murphy, Author & Business CEO

I grew up in a small village in southern Ireland and immigrated to the United States in 1986. I lived in Boston for 33 years and then moved to Southwest Florida in 2019. I’m a business CEO who spent most of my career running my businesses from a startup of one person to 50 people and later expanding and building my second company to 250 people and $100 million in revenue.

I specialized in engineering and construction and have designed engineered pallet racking systems for many companies across the USA. I received the Ernst Young Entrepreneur of the Year regional award in 2009. I have always enjoyed the challenge of working and taking on projects that challenged me and sometimes take me beyond my comfort zone.

My wife and I love, golf, travel, and boating.
