In 2012 the team captured the provincial championship, defeating former Brier champion Mark Dacey. This earned Murphy's team their first trip to the Tim Horton's Brier.[2]
Pinder is self employed as a photographer, and he is also a post-doctoral fellow at Dalhousie University in the Pathology department.[1] He is married to Vanessa Surette and has two children.[4]
