Introducing Jeff Bell, a dedicated Financial Advisor at Edward Jones and valued member of the Bakersfield Breakfast Rotary Club. Jeff's Rotary journey began in 2008, and in 2016, he joined BBRC with the support of his sponsors, Roger Allred and Mike Stepanovich. Jeff brings a wealth of experience, having served as club president twice in his previous Rotary club and achieving distinctions including Paul Harris Fellow +4, nine years as an Every Rotarian Every Year (EREY) contributor, and seven years as a Sustaining Member and TRG giver.
With a career launched in 1999 after earning a finance degree from BYU, Jeff has built a lasting partnership with his Branch Office Administrator, Nellie Mesa, since 2000. Together, they assist individuals, families, and small business owners in defining and pursuing their financial priorities.
Jeff and his wife, Amy, who he’s known since childhood, have been happily married for 27 years and are proud parents of five children and one granddaughter. Jeff also brings a unique global perspective to Rotary, having served a two-year mission in Brazil, where he gained fluency in Portuguese and an adventurous spirit. Jeff even has a wild story about fishing, catching, and cooking a piranha!
For Jeff, Rotary represents a meaningful opportunity to connect with inspiring people and make a positive impact on communities locally and worldwide.
