Murray's dynamic personality creates outstanding morale amongst all the employees. He has a can-do-will-do attitude that is contagious, and is the number-one go-to person to get things done. Murray teaches the 6 a.m. spinning class every Wednesday and Friday, and actually makes this strenuous workout fun. Murray can fix anything, keeping all the fitness equipment up and running with very little downtime and saves the government a lot of money by doing the work himself. Currently he is the interim fitness center director and is doing a terrific job of keeping the facility and programs running. The Fitness Center is very happy to have Murray as our Airman of the Week.
