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.

In 2020, after completing his term as President of the Phoenix Phil-Am Lions Club, Irion received the Melvin Jones Award from the International Lions Foundation. Charles is a member of the Arizona Diplomats and a lifetime member of the Phoenix Committee on Foreign Relations. These organizations are a small example of the broad-reaching humanitarian and philanthropic charities that Irion supports. After all the charity work he’s done around the world and at home, Irion truly believes we are One World One People.®
Following his passion for the written word, Irion made his dreams a reality and has now published seventeen books — comprised of the Summit Murder Mystery series, Hell series, Murdered By Gods series, newly released standalone thriller, FOUR, and even a cookbook — all inspired by his own taste for adventure.
