With his love for travel, it's no surprise Ron went on several assignments with PWB. Ron has documented his time with community partners in Guatemala, India, Ukraine, Guyana and Botswana. In Guatemala with Long Way Home, Ron worked with community partners to highlight sustainable living and environmental stewardship through education and employment. Ron’s photos have been featured in PWB's Online and Print Magazine.

“I believe life is about feelings, memories, and split-second moments that will never be repeated. Storytelling, through photography, allows me to take those moments and make a small difference. Nothing makes me happier than being in an unfamiliar place with my tools.” - Ron B. Wilson
