Mini bio

The legend of David "El Caminante" Olano was born in the mountains of the ancient Native American region ruled by The Massachusetts. It is said he was born of a union between legend and passion when two worlds collided to form a universal nexus of supreme existence. The day of his birth, two North Stars were seen and it is said the the Northern Lights themselves traveled south to shine upon his emergence into the world. He was delivered by a medicine man known only as "Steve" who is said to have delivered over a thousand babies but never one whose should arrived with such weight as El Caminante's.

David grew into manhood playing among the swampy backwaters of the Massachusetts and loved the tropical climate it provided. In summers he fished for thresher sharks in the streams with his bare hands and in winters he hunted short nosed bear in the snow laden valleys of the bears winter range. He is said to have killed his first carnivorous American elephant three days after his seventh birthday and to this day still wears its canines under the skin of his knuckles where they were stitched in the traditional manner.

Upon his ascension to manhood at 9 years old he set out to explore the world. After becoming a yeti wrangler in Azerbaijan and a moose gender identifier in Alaska, he settled in the middle of the Appalachian mountains to run a wood growing farm. He could not be held in one place however, and soon set out to walk the Appalachian trail and left the wood to grow itself.

This began his wandering period that gave him his nickname. He walked the Camino Santiago in Santiago, The Camino Real in Real, the Camino Appalachian in Appalachia and the Camino Pacifico that is the path that winds around the Pacifico Brewery (its only 659 yards long but he walked it twice!) By the end of his journey, he found himself in a bar in a county named after a fruit in Southern California and as he spun his yarn of adventure, a man approached and asked if he ever gave thought to voicing other people on television, film and video game or money and fame. He had not. But now he did. So he agreed to let the man represent him and he began his work as the dulcet toned purveyor of fine voice work.

Thus, you have come here to find out about him.
