Scott Painton

A native of Connecticut, and attending Prep School in NYC, Scott began his radio career in 1973 at WWBA in Tampa while a student at USF. After graduation in 1974, he worked as a Corrections Counselor for the State of Florida until 1979 when he found he loved radio far better than the government, and went to work for WDAE, eventually landing the afternoon drive position.

In 1982, he met Yvonne Levin, who was Assistant News Director. Scott left WDAE and Tampa in 1984 for Los Angeles and the midday position at Transtar Radio Network. He and Yvonne were married shortly after Scott's arrival in L.A. and they stayed until 1987 when they returned "home" to Tampa.

Scott worked mornings on WFLZ (then a "soft a/c"), then left in 1989 for WWRM where he stayed until 1995. He then worked with Yvonne building their audio production and communications company, Max Communications, Inc. until it had grown to the size that he could venture into other avenues of the recording business.

In 1997, he went to work at his current position at Bisk Education as a Recording Director for audio and video production. Scott still plays a very active role as Vice President of Max Comm. and is a voice coach when not involved in a voiceover project of his own.

Scott's next adventure was convincing Yvonne they needed to be "out in the country" where they and their 8 feline children can play in their own compound... So off they go from South Tampa to their very own massive hacienda. Land spreadin' out so far and wide... (but he hasn't figured out yet how to get Yvonne that pet giraffe she wants!).
