Bert grew up and attended school in Dawson, Nebraska, graduating from Dawson Verdon High School in 1979. He was baptized and confirmed at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Dawson.

At an early age, Bert began helping his father on the family farm, raising livestock and farming. After high school, he attended Southeast Community College in Beatrice, receiving his degree in Agricultural Business.
