Born in Oklahoma City, De Govia attended the University of San Francisco, where he became involved in their campus theater group. While living in the city, he continued designing for such local theater companies as The Magic Theater and The American Conservatory Theater, but got his break in motion pictures when he was hired by Francis Ford Coppola's American Zoetrope to work on the telepic The People, directed by John Korty.
Following a move to Los Angeles, he worked as a scenic artist and began working at Universal Studios in the 1970s, while also serving as the art director on the television series The Six Million Dollar Man. He transitioned into feature films in the 1980s, working on such films as It's My Turn and My Bodyguard; he also spent extensive time working on ABC's epic miniseries The Winds of War.
