As the country prepares for the most patriotic weekend of the year, one military veteran of the Sierra Foothills is heading up a new venture to continue his service to his country and assist those in need at home and abroad.
United States Marine Corps veteran Brandon Murphy is leading an ownership group opening Brightway, The Pacific Patriot Agency insurance office Tuesday. The 24-year-old Bear River High School alum, along with fellow California natives Ben Foster, 43, and Tyler Hunter, 31, decided to take their entrepreneurial spirits and bring them together for a common goal: To help others in any way they need. The plan is to use a portion of the earnings from their new business to launch The Pacific Patriot Foundation; a non-profit benefitting everything from our veterans in need to mission work beyond our borders.
“We have more than 25 years of military experience in this group and solid business administration background. We knew the right thing would be to make sure our business could do its part to benefit our men and women who served,” Murphy said. “Through relationships my wife, Abby, already has in place with various churches and charities in Greater Sacramento, we will make sure the foundation does all it can to help with veteran outreach.”
Also, very active in their churches when it comes to local mission work, ownership plans for The Pacific Patriot Agency Foundation to also benefit Hope Rising Haiti and Mission of Grace. The two non-profits help maintain and grow Haitian orphanages, as well as provide food, water and shelter for those in need in the poverty-stricken nation. “My wife has established relationships with these groups as she’s made several trips to Haiti over the past six years,” Murphy added. “We’ve all agreed that our business is about serving and protecting others. Let’s do that for our customers, as well as anyone in need.”
