Professor Boy co authored nine USA published counseling textbooks and over 120 articles in related professional journals. Four of the textbooks were republished in Korean, Japanese, Spanish, and Portuguese. He also wrote seven original chapters for other textbooks and had twenty of his journal articles republished in counseling textbooks.

In recognition of his publication contributions to professional counseling, Professor Boy was presented with the 1997 Research Award by the Counselor Education Division of American Counseling Association. In his teaching, research and service, Professor Boy pioneered having school and mental health counselors spend more time counseling rather than being diverted from counseling by organizational or external paperwork.

During retirement, Professor Boy wrote about his avocational interest, golf, in the 2007 book, "Golf Improvement Through Emotional Intelligence." The 2007 book evolved from a series of 23 articles on the psychology of golf which he authored in 1975 and which were consecutively published in Nikkan Gendai a Japanese daily newspaper.

At UNH Professor Boy was also Director of the National Defense Counseling Institute, Director of the Women's Information Service in Education which was jointly sponsored by the US Office of Education and the Spaulding Potter Trust of New Hampshire and served on the initial Title IX Committee which was charged with providing equal access to athletics for UNH women. During four summer sessions Professor Boy was a visiting professor at the Universities of Arizona, Hawaii, Colorado and Toronto. Prior to UNH, Professor Boy spent eight years as a middle school counselor in the Everett and Lexington Massachusetts Schools. During that period he also served Boston University by supervising counseling interns in his assigned schools, lecturing at federally sponsored counseling institutes and being a member of its adjunct faculty. He was also a consultant to the Massachusetts Division of Youth Services and was a committee member of the Harvard-Lexington Pupil Personnel Services Evaluation Committee. Professor Boy was among the first group to be licensed as a psychologist in Massachusetts and was a Fellow of the Massachusetts Psychological Association. Professor Boy received his undergraduate degree at the University of Notre Dame while his master's degree and doctorate were awarded by the Boston University School of Education.
