As CEO
In 2014, Boyle was chosen to be his father's successor of Boyle's Oil. He became CEO in January of 2015, following his fathers retirement. When Boyle was elected to vice president in 2022, he resigned the position on January 1, 2023. The Board of Directors chose his sister Jennifer as interim CEO.

Vice President of Arabi (2023-present)
During the summer of 2022, Republican nominee for president, Lucien Orton, nominated Boyle to be his vice president. Boyle had come in second during the Republican primaries. Boyle and Orton were elected on December 3, 2022 and were sworn in on January 10, 2023. Boyle describes himself as a "centrist" and "moderate", who is socially liberal, but moderately to conservatively fiscal minded. He has stated that many of his political ideologies are "not in line with Orton's" but he thinks that "this what will make this administration work."
On February 1, 2023, Orton called a reporter an "idiot" for asking a question regarding the military. Shortly after the incident occured, Boyle called the reporter to apologize and invited him to dinner at the Vice President's Mansion, which he accepted. Boyle quoted the Dalai Lama in a tweet by saying, "Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."
