 Zeb
Bell joined the PRCA in 1973 after three years in the amateur
ranks. He has been the "Man Behind the Mike" at major rodeos
all across the Untied States and has been invited back to every
rodeo he has announced.
A
microphone has been part of Zeb's "WARDROBE" for years. In the
early '70's, Zeb was one of Idaho's best-known radio and sports
personalities. Today, Zeb hosts a television talk show "Hoof
Beats", from Twin Falls, Idaho and does voice work on
commercials and videos. Along with his announcing career, Zeb
has a promotion company, "Chute 2 Promotions".  Zeb
also has a top rated talk show on ABC radio called "Zeb at the
Ranch".
He and his lovely wife, Deanne, a former barrel racer, live
on a small ranch south of Murtaugh, Idaho where they raise corriente
cattle and team rope in their arena. They have two
children; Jake is married and is a fireman in Boise, ID and Tobee Jo is married
and farming in the Murtaugh area.
Despite the fact that Zeb is on crutches stemming from a bout
with polio and numerous accidents, he is an active team roper when not busy informing
rodeo fans about the arena action.
Zeb also receives praise for his motivational speaking. When Zeb
talks people listen. He truly has a gift for generating new
enthusiasm in adults and young people. Zeb is both a vibrant and
spirited speaker that any audience can appreciate. |
