Hi, I’m Bert—welcome to Builds by Bert! My family and I live in Nashville, where my wife and I enjoy spending time outdoors and exploring the city with our three amazing kids. Originally from Chicago (Go Sox!), I still hold a special place in my heart for those unbeatable Chicago summers, but Nashville has truly become home.
While I work in tech by day, I’ve always had a passion for building and tackling creative projects. Starting Builds by Bert is my way of sharing that passion with all of you, helping to create spaces and pieces that bring joy and function to your life.
Thanks for visiting, let's bring your dream to life!
