If he can dream it, then Irion can become it. Earning Bachelor Degrees in both Biology and Economics from the University of California, Santa Barbara and a Masters of Business Administration in International Marketing and Finance from Arizona State University’s Thunderbird School of Global Management, Irion’s background is as diverse as his interests. He received recognition as 1975 Rookie of the Region in pharmaceutical sales for JNJ McNeil Laboratories.
