Ronald Paul Larson is a Kenosha, Wisconsin native. After high school he served for two years in the U.S. Army. Afterward, he received a BA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a double major in history and communication arts, with an emphasis in radio, television and film. In the early 1990s he began working in documentary television. He was the head text researcher for a six-part documentary on the Revolutionary War for the Learning Channel, which won the cable Ace Award for "Best Documentary Series" in 1995. In 2005, Larson received an MA in history from California State University, Fullerton. In addition, he has gone to several conflict zones over the years photographing and interviewing fighters and civilians about their experiences: Afghanistan, 1985 (during the Afghan-Soviet war); Iraq, 2003 (as an embedded print reporter with a U.S. Army unit); Libya, 2011 (the revolution against Gaddafi); Aleppo, Syria, 2013; and Turkey, 2015. His next project will be based on those conflict zone experiences. See less
