Ian J Aebel, PhD
Senior Accountant
A broadly trained historian from the University of New Hampshire and now a full-time accountant, Enrolled Agent, and notary, Ian has been serving the clients and staff of Lori L Strawbridge CPA since 2016.

In addition to his work at Lori L Strawbridge CPA, Ian currently teaches geography courses at UMSL. When not working, Ian enjoys reading books very slowly, watching movies 20 minutes at a time, hiking in the desert and mountains, workouts (after they are finished), cacti, ice cream, and Topo Chico.
