Meet Richard Birke, Chief Architect of JAMS Pathway. Richard is a man whose mission is not to win battles but to restore missions.

He simply helps people find their way back to purpose by untangling the webs of conflict. Richard's path to significance was anything but straight. He was, in his own words, "meandering." But life has a way of leaving clues, and Richard's early experiences were breadcrumbs leading to a calling. His mom, a Holocaust survivor, imbued him with a deep understanding of the fragility of peace and the cost of division. She ever the optimist, teaching him to embrace both sunshine and rain with grace—a wisdom that would echo in his life’s work.

When the timber wars raged in Oregon over ancient forests and livelihoods, Senator Mark Hatfield turned to this unknown 31-year-old problem solver. Richard transformed a battleground into the Opal Creek Wilderness—a living testament to the power of resolution.
