He practiced law for three years with the Simmons, Perrine, Albright & Ellwood law firm in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

			Zinkula studied for the priesthood at Theological College at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., receiving a Master in Theology degree in 1990. He earned a licentiate in canon law from Saint Paul University in 1998. After studying canon law, Zinkula became the pastor of St. Joseph Parish in Rickardsville, Iowa and sacramental priest for St. Francis Parish in Balltown, Iowa and Saints Peter and Paul Parish in Sherrill, Iowa from 1998 to 2002. He served as a judge at the Archdiocesan Tribunal from 1998 to 2000 and as judicial vicar from 2000 to 2010. He was pastor of Holy Ghost Parish in Dubuque from 2005 to 2007.

Zinkula was named a monsignor by Pope Benedict XVI in 2012.

			On April 19, 2017, Pope Francis named Zinkula the ninth bishop of the Diocese of Davenport. When initially notified of his appointment by text message, Zinkula assumed it a prank from one of the seminarians. He was ordained a bishop at St. John Vianney Church in Bettendorf, Iowa, by Archbishop Michael Jackels of Dubuque, with Bishop Martin Amos and Archbishop Jerome Hanus as co-consecrators.[citation needed]

			On June 3, 2019, Zinkula indicated that the diocese would comply with a request from the Iowa Attorney General for sexual abuse records on clergy in the diocese. On August 16, 2018, Zinkula made the following statement about sexual abuse by priests: "The abuse of children and vulnerable adults isn’t an issue that will simply go away. We must all be constantly vigilant in order to protect those who cannot protect themselves.”

			In 2023, Zinkula reduced the number of deaneries in the diocese from six to five. The new configuration took into consideration the location of parishes and parish clusters and how priests are assigned to them.[10] The diocese has also been heavily involved in the synodal process in preparation for the Sixteenth Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops.[11] During the continental stage of the preparation process, Zinkula was one of eight bishops on the North American Synod Team.

			In January 2021, Zinkula formed a committee to draft a policy regarding sexual and gender identity issues. They spent over two years studying the issue. On October 4, 2023, Zinkula promulgated Guidelines for Pastoral Accompaniment of Sexual and Gender Minorities. It "offers basic guidance on the accompaniment of sexual and gender minorities in a way that is pastorally sensitive, practical and faithful to Catholic Church teaching on the nature of the human person."

			On July 26, 2023, Pope Francis appointed Zinkula as the eleventh archbishop of Dubuque. His was installed on October 18, 2023, by Cardinal Christophe Pierre at the Church of the Nativity in Dubuque, Iowa. (2)

			Between the installation and the retirement of Archbishop Kucera, the Most Reverend Richard Pates, bishop emeritus of Des Moines, had served as the apostolic administrator of the archdiocese.

	Although the installation was not opened to the public, all priests from the archdiocese were in attendance and each parish was represented by two additional parishioners.
