Gardner is a native of Pennsylvania. He attended high school in Belgium. He won a number of lead actor awards for plays such as Metamorphoses and The Rocky Horror Show.
Gardner heard about and auditioned for the Library of Congress' Books for the Blind Program. He worked at fellow theater actor Flo Gibson's Audio Book Contractors in the DC region to produce classic literature on cassette tape. Over time, his acting career tapered off and audiobooks took over. Musician Greg Saunier said Gardner had a "simultaneously smooth and gravelly voice" with "a constantly varying pace and musical inflection". Another critic described his voice as "sandpaper and velvet".
