James Murdoch celebrates his 25th anniversary in the insurance industry in 2014. Jim began his insurance career in 1989 when he joined his father and brother in the family agency in Harrisburg. He brought the beginnings of technology to the agency and became a go-to person for other Erie agents when it came to computer and technology issues. Prior to 1989 he was a retail manager with Toys R Us in the Philadelphia / New Jersey market.

Following his father’s retirement in 2000, Jim chose to open his own agency on the West Shore in Mechanicsburg. James B. Murdoch Insurance Group, Inc. opened in October of 2000. In 2007, agency growth permitted the acquisition of its current location at 4300 Carlisle Pike, Camp Hill PA 17011. In 2011, a satellite office was opened in Linglestown at 530 Lockwillow Ave, Harrisburg, PA 17112.
