Guy Patton, also known as Beaner, is known in Birmingham as half of the now-defunct Beaner & Ken radio show. Patton was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but grew up in Florida, attending the University of North Florida in Jacksonville as a pre-law student before turning to radio professionally. He worked in Jacksonville, Washington DC and Miami before coming to Birmingham.

During the convoluted course of the "Beaner and Ken" show, Patton and partner Ken Heron used ISDN lines to collaborate while living in different cities. After leaving Birmingham, Patton moved first to New Jersey, then to Syracuse, New York. WAQX in Syracuse was the home station for the Beaner and Ken show until it went off the air on December 15, 2006.

While living in Birmingham, Patton was a member of the Board of Directors for the Greater Birmingham Humane Society. Patton currently resides, with his wife, Dana, in New Jersey.
