Harberts spent his youth in Florida, Iowa, and Indiana. He went on to attend Northwestern University, where he decided to pursue a career in entertainment. After graduating, Harberts moved to Los Angeles, where he reconnected with future writing partner, Gretchen J. Berg.

Harberts got his big break when he was hired to work on the original BEVERLY HILLS, 90210, from there, his writing career took off. Seven years later, he co-created his first show, PEPPER DENNIS, which shaped the tone of his work as drama with an undercurrent of comedy. Harberts has since written and produced on shows such as PUSHING DAISIES, MERCY, REIGN, and REVENGE. His work has earned him numerous awards and award nominations. He is currently developing projects at CBS.
