Clint Bell

Clint Bell has been behind a microphone since childhood. While other kids were juggling, twirling batons, or strumming instruments at school talent shows, Clint was the Master of Ceremonies. That early passion for engaging an audience naturally led him to earn a degree in Communication from the University of Colorado Boulder.

 

Clint’s career as a benefit auctioneer began in 2005 after attending one of the nation’s leading auctioneering schools. Since then, he has helped raise tens of millions of dollars for hundreds of foundations and charities across the country. Beyond the auction stage, Clint is a sought-after presence at national conventions, lending his talents both behind the scenes as a professional voice artist and onstage as a dynamic Emcee. 

​

Offstage, Clint brings extensive experience in outdoor hospitality and operations. His background in management has sharpened his understanding of customer expectations
and exceptional guest experiences. 

Anna Couvrette

Anna Couvrette is a live auctioneer who works in partnership with non-profit organizations and development teams to fundraise much-needed revenue in support of missions that often have a life-changing impact.

 

Anna has served as an apprentice in the non-profit industry for many years, often working alongside seasoned professionals specializing in the arts and education fields. She understands the time and effort that are required to execute successful events which demand tenacity and creativity while helping to motivate guests to embrace the purpose and vision of an organization through philanthropy.

 

Since February of 2017, Ms. Couvrette has worked with numerous clients throughout San Diego County. Her dynamic portfolio includes high-profile organizations such as Sharp Healthcare, Women in Aviation International, and Ronald McDonald House, amongst others. Trained and mentored by one of San Diego’s most renowned auctioneers, Clint Bell, Anna continues to work closely with Clint Bell Productions.

 

Anna has acquired a BA in Theater from USC and a minor in Business.

Christian Labertew

Christian Labertew began working as an auctioneer after the COVID pandemic had left many of the non-profits he grew up working with in financial turmoil. His early life was spent in Park City, Utah, where he worked to raise money and promote the Youth Theatre programs across Utah. 

 

Christian graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Southern California with degrees in Theatre and Sport’s Media Studies. During his time at USC, he continued his work with non-profits by serving as the philanthropy chair in multiple student groups on campus and working in the office of the president for events like convocation and commencement.

 

After attending one of the nation’s leading auction schools and shadowing Anna and Clint, Christian is thrilled to join the team! 

Courtney Bell

Long before the rise of blogging, Instagram, and smartphones, Courtney built an international modeling career as a Ford Model, working in Los Angeles, New York, and Milan. She later stepped away from the fashion industry to pursue her education at the University of Colorado Boulder, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Psychology.

​

Since 2017, Courtney has been an integral part of Clint Bell Unlimited, overseeing bookings and scheduling while managing client billing and accounts payable. Her
background, attention to detail, and organizational expertise ensure seamless operations and exceptional client experiences.
