BORREGO SPRINGS, CA — Walter Murray was recently named the Postmaster of the Borrego Springs Post Office.

In that position, Murray supervises three employees and oversees retail services at the Borrego Springs Post Office and the daily distribution of mail on a delivery route that ranges from Borrego Springs to Ocotillo Wells and to 2,700 PO Boxes at his facility.

He replaces former Borrego Springs Postmaster Janice Stowell, who moved on to an administrative position at the USPS district office in San Diego.

Murray is a 27-year postal employee who began his career as a rural mail carrier and most recently served as the officer in charge of the Winchester Post Office.

“I’m proud and honored to have been selected for this position,” said Murray. “I hope to further the Postal Service’s legacy of outstanding customer service and to contribute to the overall success of the organization. As a resident of Borrego Springs myself, I understand the vital role that USPS plays in the community.

“As outlined in USPS’s Delivering for America plan, we are modernizing and continually adapting to the changing needs of our customers. Our customers are priority one, whether they’re located in the middle of a major metropolis or in suburban communities like Borrego Springs and Ocotillo Wells.

“I want to express my gratitude to family for their support and encouragement throughout my career, and to the leadership team at the USPS San Diego District office for believing in me and giving me this opportunity.”

Murray was born and raised in Los Angeles, graduated from Mira Costa High School and currently resides in Borrego Springs.  

His hobbies include spending time with his family, fishing, camping and playing softball.
