Note from the CEO
Are passionate about nature, helping people, and sustainability? I got an early start in the tourism and hospitality industry. My grandfather founded Murphy's Camping on the Ocean over 60 years ago and my family had a seasonal campsite at the campground. Growing up, I spent most summer weekends playing with kids from around the world and talking with folks and playing guitar around the nightly communal campfires. These experiences shaped my view of Nova Scotia's Eastern Shore and especially the Wild Islands. As a result of our campground guests' consistent amazement at the area's unparalleled beauty, I never took it for granted and knew I eventually wanted to take over the family business.
After graduating from Dalhousie's Industrial Engineering program and putting my continuous improvement skillset to work in industry for a few years, the call to return home to the Wild Islands Coast was too strong to resist. In 2019, the dream of taking over the family business became a reality. I'm now in the process of taking Murphy's Camping on the Ocean to the highest level of guest experience. I'm one of the youngest and one of the most experienced campground owners in Nova Scotia. My first job at just 11 years old was offering wagon rides around the campground, mowing the grounds, emptying the garbage cans, and lighting the communal campfire. I've started well over 1000+ campfires in my life! There isn't a single job at the campground that I haven't done. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and passion of small business, the hospitality industry, and the Wild Islands Coast with others. Especially those who dream of operating their own business someday, or otherwise get excited about providing unforgettable outdoor experiences.
I'm looking for the next individual to join me in this pursuit. Is that you?
