Dr. Irons has a Ph.D. from the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, Illinois. He has published more than 20 papers in peer-reviewed academic journals, including the Journal of Investing and the Journal of Portfolio Management. Prior to teaching full-time, Dr. Irons worked for more than 10 years performing financial and statistical analysis for such firms as Aetna Insurance, AT&T and United Airlines.
Recently, Dr. Irons has turned his analyst's eyes toward bigger problems, such as the serious division our country is experiencing. He wishes to use his platform to promote a common ground that is based in the writings of the Founders of our country and the Framers of the Constitution, and other voices that had a prominent part in America's development as a nation. Dr. Irons feels that the only way to find common ground, if there is any to find, is through communication.
