Joshua Boies.
Firefighter, NFL Punter, Photographer, and Music Lover.
This site was created initially for NFL teams to monitor my progress and training and to keep in touch with me. Now it's a site to learn about punting and Kicking, but also Firefighting, my present career!
I am a retired NFL Punter/Kicker. I decided to do what came natural to me and become a firefighter. I am currently a Firefighter II, Paramedic, and Fire Instuctor III. Now currently I’m the Director of a college fire academy in Southern California.
I grew up in Santa Fe New Mexico. I went to school in New Mexico all the way up to my first year of college at The University Of New Mexico. I have several college degrees. I have an Associate of Arts Degree from Chaffey College, an Associate of Science Degree in Fire Science from Rio Hondo College, and a Bachelor Degree in Advertising and Journalism/Photography from Temple University. I also had the opportunity to graduate from the prestigious UCLA Daniel Freeman Paramedic school.
