Five Star Wealth Manager* (2013 - 2026)
LPL Masters Club** (2012 - 2026)
I founded Murphy Wealth Management in 1998, and for the past 28 years, I've been proud to be part of the LPL Financial family. My passion lies in meeting with clients and helping them work toward their financial goals. I believe that our commitment to client service sets us apart, as we strive to be honest, trustworthy, and always available to assist.
As a lifelong resident of Michigan, my roots run deep here. My wife, Kelly, and I have raised four wonderful adult children, Mitchell, Max, Kerigan, and Tyler. Two of four are married, our youngest is serving in the Marine Corps in California, and I'm excited to share that my son, Max Murphy, a Certified Financial Planner® (CFP®) Practitioner, is joining our firm. Together, we're evolving to continue our legacy of service into the future.
Outside of work, I enjoy skiing, golfing, and traveling with my family. These experiences enrich my life and inspire me to help others pursue their own passions and financial dreams.

Client Relationship Manager
Max Murphy, CFP®
As a financial advisor, my greatest fulfillment comes from helping clients work towards achieving their goals and simplifying the financial journey for them. Guiding clients through setting up their estate in a way that aligns with their values is a significant part of my role. I cherish the connections I form with clients and love hearing their stories about the goals they've comfortably pursued with our guidance.
Inspired by my father, Keith Murphy, I witnessed firsthand the passion he had for the industry and his clients, which motivated me to develop the same dedication. Numbers and finance have always been my forte, and childhood experiences taught me the value of hard work.
Originating from Shelby Township, MI, I am one of four siblings—Kerigan, Mitchell, and Tyler—in a close and supportive family. Family dinners are a frequent and cherished tradition, reflecting our value for togetherness and strong friendships. My three-year-old German Shorthair Pointer, Nelli, is a beloved member of our family. My interests include skiing in the western US, staying active with Nelli at local dog parks, trails, and lakes, and traveling, which has taken me to approximately 20 countries and enriched my worldview.
Professionally, I am committed to furthering my education and staying engaged with like-minded professionals. I have joined Murphy Wealth following time with Plante Moran Financial Advisors, Vanguard, and most recently as a Financial Advisor at LPL Financials' home office in Fort Mill, SC. As a participant in CFP® Board events and the Financial Planning Association in Detroit, I continuously seek to expand my knowledge and experience.
Client Service Associate
Mitchell Murphy
Helping others has always been one of my biggest goals in life. I discovered a passion for supporting clients during my years in construction management, especially within the residential market. Working closely with homeowners and builders taught me the importance of listening, building trust, and helping people navigate complex decisions with confidence.
When I began considering a career change, joining a family practice felt like a natural next step. Growing up around my father, Keith, I saw firsthand the passion and commitment it takes to truly help others succeed. I’m excited to bring my experience and people-first mindset to enhance the client experience at Murphy Wealth Management.
My wife, Heather, and I have been married for five years and share our home with two very energetic dogs. When we’re not spending time with family, we enjoy trying out local restaurants and discovering new favorites.
