He has served in several ministerial positions: pastoral associate, Associate Director for Catechesis for the Archdiocese of Newark, director of faith formation, youth minister, campus minister, and teacher. His treatise focused on Accompanying the Next Generation of Newlyweds: A Parish Model for Perfecting the Love of Marriage Through a Peer Collaborative Dialogue.
