Joseph Collins, Jr. is the CEO of Punch Television Network. Born Feruary 23, 1964 in Los Angeles, CA. Growing up in South Central took its toll on Joseph. Gang violence and drug ridden streets were a daily battle for the Collins family as they ventured out into their work and school lives. At the age of ten, Joseph’s mother decided to uproot her family and move them to the safer neighborhoods of Pomona, California where he attended Gary High School and later Providence Seminary. Money was tight, forcing the family to rely on food stamps and other government assistance just to get by. Although there were many struggles growing up, Joseph credits his parents as the most influential people in his life.
