Early life Innes was born on October 1, 1966, in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. At a young age, realizing his ability to mimic voices, he recognized his passion for doing cartoon voices, including the cartoon character Scooby-Doo (whom Innes became a fan in the early 1970s). Innes would listen to the actors performing the voices, determine how they created them, and learn how to do it himself. He would also recreate scenes from the series in his head at night to make himself fall asleep. In 1980, Innes became a disc jockey at age 14, debuting on KLID in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. In 1990, he started working as a morning announcer for WABB-FM. During his spare time, he would imitate famous people over the intercommunications system, delighting employees at the station. He was later fired in order for him to expand his vocal abilities.

In 1991–1996, Innes was the host of Innes and Company on KKHT-FM in Springfield, Illinois. He created "Dear Daddy: The Wind Beneath My Wings", a remix of "Wind Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler, featuring his son Josh Innes. The song was played as a requested track on more than 400 radio stations in the US.

In 1996, Innes and Jim Hogg created Hollywood Hal and Rhinestone Al With the Wannabees, a show aimed at pre-kindergarteners that taught them about manners, safety, sharing, love, staying away from drugs, and other values. He continued to voice Scooby and Shaggy in 2002–2009 in most video games, PC games, toys, and commercials. Since 2010, he has been sporadically voicing the characters for toys, certain commercials such as McDonald's, the bank Halifax, and Walmart, as well as Scooby-Doo! The Museum of Mysteries at Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, and in the Scooby-Doo Playmobil shorts for WB Kids. In the Playmobil shorts and one of the McDonald's commercials, he also provided the voice of Fred Jones. Innes has also voiced Scooby's nephew, Scrappy-Doo, in the live-action film Scooby-Doo (2002), ), and Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble in a Toshiba commercial in 2002. He has briefly voiced other characters, including those by Don Messick, Daws Butler and Mel Blanc, whom he had interviewed as a youngster: Yogi Bear, Boo-Boo Bear, Ranger Smith, Wally Gator, Quick Draw McGraw, Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Foghorn Leghorn, Muttley, Professor Pat Pending, Snagglepuss, Captain Caveman, Shag Rugg, Droopy and Papa Smurf. Innes auditioned to voice Yogi and Boo-Boo for the film Yogi Bear (2010) but lost to Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake. In October 2011, he was fired from WYNK-FM as part of a new programming strategy and staff changes by Clear Channel Radio. On April 21, 2016, he joined nearby station WRKN in the same position of afternoon air personality.

Personal life Innes married his first wife, Jodie, on October 30, 1998. They divorced in 2014; together they have a son, Presley. Innes also has an older son named Josh, who works as a sports radio talk host in Houston, Texas. Innes married his second wife, Cindy Harris, in September 2016.
