Bear Murray, PsyD (h.c.), LPC, M.Ed, ABS, is a veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard, a retired Master Peace Officer, and a licensed professional counselor who has spent his life at the intersection of service, trauma, and transformation. With a background spanning public education, juvenile forensic psychology, and first responder support, Bear brings more than credentials—he brings lived wisdom. His speaking style is direct but compassionate, blending historical clarity with personal authenticity, spiritual depth, and hard-earned truth.

As a husband, father of six – including four sons who have served our nation honorably – and a patriot with a passion for generational healing, Bear writes and speaks from the crossroads of past pain and future hope. His book Fractured Foundations is not just a diagnosis of family decline—it is a roadmap toward renewal, rooted in timeless virtues and the lived experience of someone who has walked both through fire and alongside others in theirs. Whether he’s addressing veterans, educators, spiritual leaders, or civic organizations, Bear offers a voice of principle-centered steadiness in a culture desperately searching for meaning.

If you’re seeking a speaker who honors tradition but speaks with contemporary urgency—someone who can challenge audiences without alienating them and who weaves truth through the story with strength and grace—you’ve just met him.
