Originally from Louisiana, Herb holds a Master's Degree in Public Administration from the LBJ School of Public Affairs, and a Law Degree from Georgetown University.

He and his wife Laurie have also raised two children, one a recent graduate from Harvard University and the other currently attending the University of Chicago.

Herb's ties to Colorado go back twenty years. His brother is mentally-challenged, and Herb is responsible for him. After a nation-wide search for the best care facility, Herb settled his brother at the Jewish Family Services Group Home at 2310 S. Holly in Denver back in 1984. Herb has been visiting and loving Colorado since then. Herb and his wife Laurie moved their businesses to Colorado in early 2005. They are enjoying their new home in the foothills of Golden and establishing ties with local Democratic party members.

Rubenstein ran for Congress in Colorado's 7th District, but lost the primary to Ed Perlmutter, see Colorado U.S. House election, 2006.
