In this episode of Community Matters, JLG Architects’ Jennifer Burke Jackson and her cousin Adam Burke have a conversation about Adam’s experiences during and after incarceration.
In 2015, Adam’s life took a drastic turn, initiated by an FBI raid at one of his clinics. After a tumultuous year, he was served an indictment and made the decision to go to trial. Three years later, Adam would surrender at FPC Duluth to serve a 7 ½ year sentence.
Despite the challenge, Adam endured, maintaining a loving relationship with his wife and family. Today, he has pursued a new career path in business development in Minneapolis, spending part of his time consulting with Time Partners.
Jennifer Burke Jackson leads JLG’s Community Studio, focused on projects of positive impact for the communities in which we live, work, and otherwise exist. Jennifer and her team recognize the far-reaching impact and value of our communities’ personal stories, experiences, and voices. Sharing challenges and understanding new perspectives drives Jennifer to design solutions that do more to engage its occupants. To be better architects (and better people), her team is learning out loud, sparking conversation, and inviting raw truth to redesign reality.
