Robert J. Beach

CFO, COO

Dr. Robert Beach received his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Desales University after receiving his Bachelor's degree from East Stroudsburg University. However, he originally started with college credits at Northampton Community College where he would meet Zach Murphy and Kristin Popovice while tutoring foundational sciences. Having a unique love for science, medicine and photography came the idea for Ninja Nerd. Rob would film and edit the lectures, Kristin would help illustrate, and Zach would present to people from all around the world.

Upon graduating and receiving his doctorate, Rob worked in his hometown of Bethlehem for a local health network as a Physical Therapist. He worked as a full time Physical Therapist for a year. He soon realized his passion and love for Ninja Nerd and resigned as a Physical Therapist to work full time for the business he helped create. Currently, Rob takes care of operations and finances for Ninja Nerd, in addition to continuing to film and edit lectures to share with students and professionals around the world.

Rob enjoys traveling to Maine to hike in Acadia National Park and visit wineries. He is married to Kristin, Co-Founder of Ninja Nerd and they have four adorable cats!

Zachary Murphy is one of the co-founders of Ninja Nerd and is responsible for preparing, drawing, and presenting the science and medicine lectures. Zach attended Misericordia University where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. Zach worked at Northampton Community College as a professional tutor in General and Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Genetics, Biology and Anatomy & Physiology where he met his best friends: Rob & Kristin Beach, who are also the co-founders of Ninja Nerd. While tutoring Zach realized the impact he was making with tutoring students at the community college but had this insatiable desire to make a difference in a larger and more global way; that’s where Ninja Nerd blossomed into a special platform that has reached a very large number of students with the ultimate desire to make a difference in academic and clinical advancement.  

Zach decided he wanted to pursue a career in medicine and help make a difference in the lives of others who struggle with various medical conditions. Zach pursued medicine and graduated from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2020 with his masters as a Physician Assistant (PA-C). Zach then pursued a career in intensive care medicine. Zach works in a neuro-intensive care unit and deals with patients with ischemic, hemorrhagic strokes, status epilepticus, brain masses as well as various comorbid medical conditions that complicate their ICU stay. Zach loves every aspect of medicine and science and wants nothing more than to share that love of science and medicine to others around the world as well as help others succeed in their academic and clinical journeys. His personal interests include spending time with his two French bulldogs (Gibbs and McGee) who are his absolute best friends, surfing, swimming, fishing, and of course studying and learning to prepare and spread knowledge in the form of enjoyable and funny videos for Ninja Nerd.

My name is Mina and I am a 5th year medical student from Alexandria Egypt. My favorite specialty is theoretical physics, but it's too little too late for that! I used to find Cardiology a very smart speciality. Later, I found it to be too smart. I also like surgery. Ninja Nerd started making videos as I started medical school, what a companionship! Inspired by my sister (and a little jealous), I have been learning to play the Oud for 3 years now. In my free time I like comedy, satire and laughter in general.
