“We welcome Mike to Modern,” said Lamont Cantrell, vice president of sales of Modern Machinery. “He brings enthusiasm, energy and technical strengths to the company. We expect him to have a major impact on our customer base.”

Murphy has worked in the heavy machinery industry for more than 20 years, most recently at a local Caterpillar dealership.
