Membership Minute: Spotlight on Jim Murphy


Rotary Club of North Fulton extends a warm welcome to our newest member, Jim Murphy. Jim is a retired commercial real estate debt manager living in Alpharetta. He was born and raised in Newport News, VA and graduated from James Madison University. (If this university sounds familiar to you it's likely because they were in the CFP playoffs this year. In addition, Curt Cignetti, National Championship Coach of the Indiana Hoosiers coached at JMU before Indiana.) Jim began his career with a small Virginia bank that is now Bank of America. He was transferred to Washington, DC for two years, then transferred to Atlanta in 1997. After spending five years in corporate finance, he shifted back to banking at Trimont Real Estate Advisors and then Situs AMC where he managed large commercial real estate loans for Wall Street clients. He retired in 2023.

Jim is married to Christion Murphy and they have two children with a house divided - a 23-year old son who graduated from GA Tech who lives in NYC, and a 20-year old son who is a sophomore at UGA. Somehow, they are still best friends!

Jim is excited to become a member of Rotary Club of North Fulton and looks forward to making new friends while serving the community.
