Buck Dozier otherwise known by many as "Chief". That term is so fitting as Chief Dozier is a LEADER to many. Not only is he the President and Leader of Box 55 but is a leader at his Church, Inner City Ministry, and many other programs in the city. He is a former Nashville Fire Department Director Chief in which he still holds much respect from current members of the NFD. He also is a former Davidson County Councilmember, Youth/Family Church Director, Nashville Fairground Director and a very well respected Coach and School Teacher. Chief Dozier's witness and willingness to serve others has touched many lives in this community for over 50+ years. His primary purpose of participating in Box 55 is to "serve in a area of great interest to him and it keeps him close to the First Responders that have been a part of his life". You will still see him driving Rehab 55 monthly responding to calls to serve. In his very little spare time, he enjoys Reading, Speaking at events, Golfing and most of all spending time with his Grandkids. You will see him at the ball field every time they are playing sports.
