He was born in Hazleton, Pa., where his father was Executive Director of the United Mine Workers Health and Welfare Fund, and his mother worked for the Pennsylvania State Department of Employment Security. After completing his theological studies McNelis was ordained as a Catholic priest for the Maryland Province of the Society of Jesus on June 4, 1977 .

At Georgetown McNelis regularly taught courses in the fields of International Finance, Macro, and Monetary Economics. McNelis also worked as the faculty liaison of the Georgetown M.A.-Economics collaborative program (Instituto Latinoamericano de Doctrina y Estudios Sociales, ILADES ) since its 1987 inception in Santiago,Chile. ILADES is now part of the newly formed Universidad Alberto Hurtado in Santiago.

McNelis has worked with various international development organizations in Washington as well as central banks throughout the world, such as the Central Bank of Ireland, the Reserve Bank of Australia, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, the Bank of Indonesia, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the Bank of Japan, the Central Bank of the Philippines, and Bank Bangladesh.

He has taught in multiple languages, offering short courses on Neural Networks and Finance in Portuguese in Sao Paulo and Brasilia, Brazil, and in Spanish in Barcelona, Leon, and Santiago, Chile.

His writings are in the field of Computational Macroeconomics, concentrating on problems of adjustment and financial liberalization in Latin America and Asia. His current research is on applications of neural networks and genetic algorithms for predicting exchange rate and asset-price instabilities, for assessing the effects of alternative monetary aggregates on inflation and interest rates in the short run, for evaluating credit risks in emerging markets, and solving real business cycle models.

Neural Networks in Finance: Gaining Predictive Edge in the Market, (Elsevier Academic Press) was published in Jan. 2005, and another book, Computational Macroeconomics for the Open Economy (MIT Press), appeared in Oct. 2008 The latter is a collaborative venture with Professor Guay C.

Prior to his doctoral studies, Professor Parsley worked in consulting and for the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. His research interests are in the fields of international finance and macroeconomics. He has concentrated on the macroeconomics of exchange rates, prices and the relationship between the two. His current research is directed in two main areas: (1) purchasing power parity (PPP) and whether convergence toward purchasing power parity is impacted by the monetary regime, and (2) the economic and time-series characteristics of international market segmentation. Professor Parsley teaches courses in macroeconomics, international trade and commercial policy, international economics, and international business at Vanderbilt University where is an Associate Professor at the Owen Graduate School.
