Dave Garber Director of Photography, Voice Over Talent, Professional Rodeo CowboyHowdy and thanks for dropping by my small piece of cyberspace. First of all let me thank my mom who had the good sense to see that I was born in the great state of Texas.

We, (my mom, dad, brother John and I moved from Texas when I was only 12 years old to southern California (Santa Barbara), where we stayed for one year and then moved on to Santa Monica, where I grew up. I think I grew up...............I'm still trying to figure that one out.

I went to Santa Monica High School (didn't graduate) and soon after I got the best job of my life, working for Carroll Shelby, building Cobra Race Cars. That's where I learned to really "Drive a race car" from some of the best in the world at the time, like Bob Bondurant, Carroll Shelby, Ken Miles, Bob Johnson of Texas and of course, Phil Hill.

That job led me into the movie business and I quickly became a stuntman, thanks to my boss at the time, Don Pike. ( I didn't have any brains at that point, but, I didn't care. As I "grew up", oh there I go again, I was fortunate enough to learn some of the different aspects of the picture business. I decided that I really loved the camera department and I became a camera assistant and eventually an operator.

Today, I live on a 600 acre ranch in Simi Valley, Ca. where I own a horse boarding business with 32 head of horses. Not doing stunts any more, I decided to stay in the business and am currently doing voice over work. It's a lot of fun a I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn, work till dark, then drive home dog tired.

I still do on camera work, such as commercials, television and feature films. I have a real nice hi-def movie camera package and will be shooting a short film next month (October). Please click any one of the links to read more about what I do. Thanks a bunch. Click here to read my blog.
