Bert was born in Orem, Utah, USA and raised in a Mormon family during his youth. He was inspired by Michael Jackson to become a singer at a young age. He also attended High School with bandmember Quinn Allman, before dropping out. Before joining The Used, he played the trumpet in a local band in his hometown. Wanting to seek new musical options, he auditioned for a band in his hometown who needed a singer.

After his audition, Quinn Allman, Jeph Howard and Branden Steineckert were so blown away, that they asked him to join. He was so involved, he hitchhiked to band practice. Soon, Bert moved out of his house and lived with Quinn and his parents for awhile, before their band became a huge success.
