Devon Bell - Auctioneer

Devon Bell brings intelligence, passion, humor, and an entertainer’s sensibility to everything he does. His commitment to helping people runs to his core and has guided his path throughout his career.

Devon’s first career was as a real-time captioner for the deaf and hard of hearing. Over the course of 20 years, he has captioned for U.S. Presidents, astronauts, and during live surgeries. “The pace and the pressure of a live event, the sense of accomplishment and achievement with its success,” says Devon, “were all good precursors to becoming a fundraiser.”

Devon grew up in the same small town as lifelong friend Greg Quiroga, who first recruited Devon as a ring man in 2010.  Devon was hooked, and he joined Stellar Fundraising Auctions as an auctioneer in 2014. Well over 100 auctions later, he still loves the work.

“It’s an honor to be part of any nonprofit fundraising/benefit event,” says Devon.  “It’s joyous and poignant and so much fun to help facilitate a community’s expression of support for an organization they love.  I feel blessed to play a role, and I try to bring that celebratory feeling to every performance.”

Devon works with schools, arts organizations, and public interest groups throughout the Bay Area and beyond.  He lives in Davis and takes any and every opportunity to play music, to play with his kids, and to play music with his kids.
