Our Story
Hi, we’re Chris and Christina Boyle. We met as high school sweethearts in North Carolina, and today, we’re partners in life, family, and business.
​
We’re raising our daughter (and two loyal cattle dogs) surrounded by family and a strong sense of community like what we grew up with. Both raised in entrepreneurial families, where small business was a way of life, we’ve seen firsthand how a great business can provide stability, opportunity, and lasting relationships - not just for its owners but also for the people and communities it serves.
​​
Christina is a licensed speech-language pathologist (CCC-SLP) who built her career across pediatric clinics before founding Foxtail Speech, LLC, our private speech therapy practice. Chris is a former Army aviation and military intelligence officer who flew reconnaissance missions around the world and is now earning his MBA at UVA’s Darden School of Business. We’ve moved five times, navigated deployments, started a business from scratch, and learned how to operate as a team, both at home and at work.
​​
Today, we are focused on acquiring a high-quality pediatric therapy business. We are not private equity, and we’re not part of a larger corporate group. We are operators with lived experience in the space who plan to be present in the business every day.
We know what makes these businesses work: trust with families, deep respect for clinicians, an excellent reputation in the community, and operational excellence behind the scenes.
Our Values
Integrity
We honor the trust you’ve built. Our commitment is to maintain the same honest, patient-first culture that made your clinic successful.
Character
We value people over transactions. We believe in taking care of staff, families, and the community- just as you have.
Quality
We know great care drives great outcomes. Our focus is to preserve and support the clinical excellence you’ve worked hard to build.
