Murphy was born in Bronxville, New York and grew up in Yorktown Heights, New York, the youngest of six children. His father was a union leader with UWUA 1-2 who worked for Con Edison. Murphy decided to study chiropractic following his graduation from high school, and received a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and a Doctor of Chiropractic from what was then Life Chiropractic College.
In 1999, he opened his own medical practice, Yorktown Health and Wellness Center, in his hometown of Yorktown. In addition to his chiropractor's office, for the next fifteen years, he served as an on-field volunteer medical advisor for local high school athletes. In 2006, along with his siblings, he opened a family restaurant, Murphy's Irish Restaurant and Bar, named in honor of his father.
He is married, with three children. His wife is a nurse.

In 2009, Murphy ran for and was elected to the Yorktown Town Board and was re-elected for a second term in 2013. He had a run close race for the Westchester County Board of Legislators in 2011, which went to a recount. Murphy and his fellow council members were credited with approving more than $300 million in long-awaited economic development projects within the town, many of which had stalled for years under previous administrations, including a $60 million overhaul of the Jefferson Valley Mall and the redevelopment and widening of the Route 202 corridor.
