Hello! I’m Steve Bell, and it’s a pleasure to meet you.
My work experiences have been instrumental in shaping my current self. My journey began with being the first in my family to attend college, followed by service in the US Army, and then a career at Intel. Upon retiring after over 25 years in corporate America, I have committed myself to public education. Throughout my life, I have harbored two professional passions: management/leadership and college and career consulting.
Here’s a summary of my professional experience:
- With over 25 years at Intel Corporate, I have accumulated a wealth of insights and experiences as a leader. My journey began on the production line as an operator and progressed through promotions to supervisor, shift supervisor, process engineering group leader, reliability department manager, and IT product line manager. In the latter part of my career, I leveraged these experiences to train new management classes, an effort for which I was honored as “Instructor of the Year” for training new managers at Intel.
- Following my retirement, I used my wealth of experience to offer consulting services in process re-engineering and management/leadership.
- Volunteer at area non-profits and worked at seasonal positions. I enjoy golfing, so why not share that enjoy and get paid.
- In an effort to align our work schedules, my wife Randi noted that the local high school had a vacancy. I began in security, leading the team, before transitioning to the role of College and Career Specialist at Arizona’s largest high school. There, I had the privilege of sharing my background and experiences with the students, which sparked a new passion within me. The success of the students at Hamilton High can be attributed largely to the support from their families, teachers, staff, and the students themselves. My role was to provide guidance and support on their journey, utilizing my technical software skills, management expertise (including resume writing and interview preparation), and life experiences (from military service to corporate, non-profit, and consulting work) to help students plan for their futures.
Sharing my experiences to help others be successful drives me. Witnessing people, I assist achieve their dreams makes me happy.
