Ron's Background

My photo
Ron Carlson, RA ILL
Chicago, Illinois, United States
Ron is Founder and CEO of PBD, Inc., an architectural firm based in Chicago, Illinois. Ron founded PBD in 1993, which is now one of the leading corporate design firms in Chicago. In addition to being a registered architect, Ron is also an inventor, author, artist, speaker, explorer and instrument rated pilot. Since 2001, Ron has undertaken several solo expeditions in his seaplane to the far north, far above the arctic circle. His primary mission has been to explore and conduct research while searching for relics of the doomed Franklin Expedition of 1845. These English Admiralty explorers on two ships disappeared with all hands in this region. In 2011, Ron was the first to discover and photograph one of the fabled ships; HMS Erebus, which lay below on the shallow ocean floor. Today Ron is primarily focused on his historical documentary channel on YouTube called, "Faces of the Forgotten”, finding and telling unique and intriguing untold stories.
