Tighe's professional work focused on youth. In 2013, as president of the Young Anglicans Project, then-Archbishop Robert Duncan asked Tighe and his team to develop resources for connecting with youth in the ACNA. Tighe and a team of Anglican youth ministers developed a training program called Engage to equip laypeople in ACNA dioceses and congregations to minister to youth. He also founded La Frontera Youth Ministry Education in El Paso. Tighe was appointed canon for youth ministries in the ACNA in 2016. On December 12, 2020, the Diocese of the Southwest elected Tighe as its second diocesan bishop. He was consecrated at the Church of St. Clement in El Paso by Archbishop Foley Beach on March 6, 2021.
