[edit] Career

Bell earned his MBA from UCLA in 1991.[6] He developed early valuation methodologies that are utilized widely today, including The Bell Chart[7], a resource that categorizes the 10 types of detrimental conditions and their corresponding economic damages, and the Detrimental Conditions Matrix [8].

In 1997, Bell accepted an appointment to be the national director of the Real Estate Damages practice of Price Waterhouse, where he continued until the firm merged to become PricewaterhouseCoopers.[6] He left the firm in 1999 and, with two partners, co-founded Bell Anderson & Sanders LLC.[9]

Now as a leading economist, crisis consultant, and strategist, Bell's first major assignments started in the early 1990s with the Los Angeles riots, the Malibu firestorms, and the Northridge earthquake.[5] He also consulted on the Via Estoril landslides in Laguna Niguel, California, which involved a 125-foot landslide[6]

Bell has consulted on various crime scenes and its human tragedy, including the JonBenét Ramsey case, [6] the Heaven's Gate (religious group) mansion in Rancho Santa Fe, [6] and the Nicole Brown Simpson condominium. [6] He has also extensively researched the Charles Manson Tate murders,[6] the San Ysidro McDonald's massacre,[6] the Luby's Restaurant massacre in Texas,[6] the Battle of the Alamo,[6] and Columbine[6]. As an international consultant, Bell has been brought in to consult on Hurricane Katrina[6], as well as the 2005 levee failures in Greater New Orleans,[6] the Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands,[6] the September 11 attacks at the World Trade Center site,[6] and the United Airlines Flight 93 crash site in Pennsylvania[6]. He also conducted research at the Chernobyl disaster and Hiroshima,[6] where only the highest governmental clearance allows outside investigators.

[edit] Media

Bell’s work was first noted by the media in 1996, when he consulted for Lou Brown, the father of Nicole Brown Simpson. Nicole was the ex-wife of O. J. Simpson and was found murdered at her home. Bell’s career has since been profiled as a cover story for Entertainment Tonight.[5] Bell has also appeared on CNN several times,[5] as well as Court TV, Extra,[5] ABC News,[5] The O'Reilly Factor,[5] MSNBC,[5] 20/20,[5] and the CBS[10] and NBC television networks.[5] His career has also been profiled in the print media,[11] including People,[5][12] The Wall Street Journal,[5][13] the Los Angeles Times,[5][14][15] Associated Press,[5] the Chicago Tribune,[5] and The New York Times.[5][16]
