Jack Murphy

John Goldman, better known as Jack Murphy, is an American manosphere internet personality, writer, and podcast host. Career Murphy graduated from George Mason University with a Bachelor of Arts in economics. He later attended the Georgetown School of Foreign Service, earning a Master of Arts in International Affairs. In 2009, Murphy began working as a senior consultant for multiple public charter schools in Washington, D.C. From 2011 to 2016, Murphy was paid more than $1.1 million for his work at two D.C. schools. Beginning in 2015, Murphy began blogging on his website, Jack Murphy Live. His writings ranged from lifestyle and career advice to conservative politics and gender dynamics. Murphy often wrote about the benefits of masculinity and the negatives of feminism. Many of his writings have been described as racist and misogynist, which led some to associate Murphy with the alt-right. However, Murphy has criticized leading alt-right figures, like Richard Spencer, for their advocacy of White ethnostates. In January 2018, Murphy was publicly revealed to be John Goldman, a senior manager of finance for the D.C. Public Charter School Board. Murphy was doxed in a Twitter post by Lacy MacAuley, a left-wing activist. Goldman confirmed on his blog that Jack Murphy is his pseudonym. Murphy's proximity to the alt-right and manosphere, resulted in calls for his firing. Murphy denied any involvement with the alt-right or white nationalism. Murphy was placed on administrative leave in January, and by April, he was no longer employed by the organization.
