Bergman was born in Los Angeles. He graduated from the University of Southern California in 1965.[2]
In 1968 he joined Martin Stern, Jr.[2]
In 1978 he went to work exclusively for Steve Wynn through the firm Atlandia Design. Wynn had a chair adjacent to his drafting table and together they played an important role in transforming the Las Vegas strip from a low rise strip to the modern theme-oriented casino with high rise buildings.
In 1994 he and Scott Walls, who had also worked for Wynn, started their own firm.[4]
