Away from the office, Libby enjoys life with her husband, Brian Murphy, and an amazing group of friends and family. She eats at least one cookie every day, and is a dedicated follower of Indiana’s First Dog, Henry Holcomb. She is an avid runner and has run a full marathon in all 50 states. She is contemplating running on all continents, but admits that may just be an excuse to travel.
