Our story / Germantown, Wisconsin
Becca Murray.
A familiar face.
A coffee company of her own.
Family, friendships, quiet mornings and a genuine love of coffee. The things that make Becca, Becca.
Germantown, Wisconsin
Family first.
Always home.
Chapter I
Home and family
Becca grew up in Germantown, Wisconsin, just outside Milwaukee. She describes it as an incredibly supportive community, full of friends, teachers, coaches and therapists who encouraged her to be independent and chase what she loved.
Family sits at the centre of it all. Her whole family, the people who showed up long before any of this, are still the reason she calls Wisconsin home, winters and all.
Chapter II
Finding her place
At around six years old, Becca discovered wheelchair basketball. It gave a quiet, shy kid a community, a sense of belonging and, little by little, the confidence to be herself.
UW-Whitewater was where it really took hold. Becca helped start the women's team there from the bottom up, and it became a key time for finding herself. The program grew into a national force, winning three national championships between 2012 and 2014.
She went on to represent the United States at four Paralympic Games, winning two gold medals and a silver, along with World Championship success. But ask her about it and she'll talk about the friendships, the teammates and the journeys just as much as the results.
Today she coaches younger players, hoping to give them the same opportunities she was given.
Chapter III
The little moments
Most days start around 4:45 AM. Becca gets herself and Payzli ready, and Payzli heads off to spend the day with Becca's parents while she works full-time at Rogers Behavioral Health.
Her first coffee comes right after the dog is taken care of. She started drinking it in college, around early-morning practices, and never stopped. She loves trying new coffee shops, grabbing a cup with coworkers, and leans towards smooth, medium, a little sweet: vanilla creamer, lattes, mochas, and peppermint or pumpkin spice when the season's right.
Evenings are basketball, dinner, a movie or some reality TV, and the dog on the couch.
Chapter IV
Creating something of her own
For Becca, coffee means comfort. Being cozy. Peaceful mornings, a fireplace or a campfire, time with family and friends. MURXII is her way of bottling that feeling and sharing it, while building something personal that lasts well beyond her playing days.
Chapter V · The name
MURXII
MUR - from Murray. A family name, and a family that has shown up for every step.
XII - twelve. Becca's number since childhood, carrying meaning far beyond the court. She and her mom chose the name together.
Chapter VI
Looking forward
Becca wants MURXII to grow into a lasting, independent coffee company that people genuinely love. Along the way, she hopes to use her platform to bring more awareness to wheelchair basketball and adaptive sports.
