I was born in Belfast, N. Ireland and was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Tyler, on December 21,1997. I ministered at the Cathedral as a transitional deacon in the summer of 1997 and upon my ordination as a priest I served as parochial vicar from February 1998 to May 2000. During that time I also taught Latin at Bishop T.K. Gorman High School. I have served in several other parishes since my time at the cathedral: Sacred Heart, Texarkana, and St. Catherine of Siena, Atlanta, May 2000-August 2001; Our Lady of Sorrows, Jacksonville, Summer of 2002 and St. Matthews, Longview, summer of 2003. In 2001, I was assigned to the Catholic University of America, Washington, DC, for canon law studies and graduated with a license in canon law (J.C.L.) in 2003. In May 2004, having completed a year of doctorate work, I returned to the diocese and was appointed pastor of Mary Queen of Heaven Parish, Malakoff, and judge to our diocesan tribunal. In January 2009, I returned to the Catholic University to complete my doctorate work and in January 2010 I successfully defended my research and was granted the doctorate in canon law (J.C.D.). Effective February 2, 2010 I was appointed rector of the cathedral and judicial vicar for the diocese.
